SEAMOR Marine is a world-leading manufacturer of versatile underwater ROVs (remotely operated vehicles). Based on more than three decades of development, our powerful and highly reliable solutions are in operation on every continent and in every major body of water on the planet.

Our industry-proven ROVs are based around a modular open-frame design, allowing tools, sensors and other essential accessories to be easily added to the vehicle.

SEAMOR ROV platforms are capable of operating at depths of down to 300 meters (1000 ft), and can be provided with a range of standard twisted-pair or fiber optic tether lengths. Vehicles that can withstand depths of down to 600 meters (2000 ft) can be provided upon request.

Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)

SEAMOR Chinook

The Chinook is an industrial-grade inspection-class ROV with a compact profile that allows it to operate in highly confined spaces. Featuring a forward-facing high-resolution video camera for capturing broadcast-quality footage, as well as an auxiliary camera, the functionality of the versatile robotic vehicle can be extended even further with the addition of optional manipulators, tool skids, extra thrusters, sonars, USBL systems and more.

The platform’s design includes multiple handles and frame cross members that allow it to be carried and deployed by two people with ease. The Chinook package includes an intuitive and ergonomic controller with a built-in LCD screen.

SEAMOR Mako

The Mako is our largest and most powerful ROV, featuring eight highly efficient thrusters – four vertical thrusters for stability and four horizontal to maximize forward thrust. Able to carry 14kg of payload as standard and upgradeable to 22.5 kg, the Mako can be equipped with a wide variety of payloads for true multi-mission flexibility, and can deliver enough power to run them all at once.

The rugged ROV features a 1080p HD zoom camera for high-quality footage. Additional accessories can be mounted on the frame or in the specially designed payload bay, including multibeam sonars, CT and UT probes, hydraulic manipulator arms, and more.

Applications

Industrial Inspection
Our ROVs are ideal for undertaking a wide range of critical inspection tasks, including pipelines, storage vessels, and subsea structures.

Search & Recovery
Law enforcement and first responders deploy ROVs in challenging waters to locate forensic evidence, sunken vehicles and vessels, and missing persons, working at depths and under visibility conditions that would be impossible using manual methods.

Nuclear Power
Nuclear power facilities require regular inspection to meet demanding safety regulations. ROVs are able to operate where human divers cannot, particularly due to radiation, thus helping to speed up inspection and reduce downtime.

Aquaculture
ROVs help commercial fisheries and aquaculture ventures undertake a wide range of tasks in order to lower operating costs and boost profitability, including water sampling, net inspections, disease detection, and repairs.
