Pharos Offshore has boosted its subsea equipment fleet with the SMD built trenching vehicle, Q1000.
The Q1000 jet trenching ROV has 1000hp (750kw) of installed power coupled to high – pressure water pumps, capable of up to 3 metre trench depth.
Phil Walker , Pharos Offshore Group CEO, said: “ The acquisition of Q1000 strengthens Pharos’ position within the offshore cable and pipeline installation sector, along with the TROV UTV400 which has undertaken a full refurbishment by modernising the equipment and doubling the burial capabilities.”
Operationally rated to 2000 metres, the Q1000 is currently located within the quayside workshop at Port of Blyth.
