Rock-Dump ROV for Boskalis

Dutch submersible specialist to develop and build integrated rock-dump ROV for Boskalis Recently Seatools of Numansdorp landed the largest order since its establishment in August 1999: Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. – the international provider of dredging services, maritime infrastructure and maritime services – commissioned the specialist submersible company to build a unique underwater robot that will combine the functions of a survey ROV (remotely operated vehicle) with those of a rock-dump ROV. The ROV will be stationed on board a new, 159-metre long fallpipe vessel that is currently being built for Boskalis at the Keppel Singmarine Pte Ltd. shipyard in Singapore. Seatools will handle the construction and the entire engineering of this spectacular new project, and develop the advanced software that will enable the ROV to be easily controlled from on board the mother vessel
