Subsea Vision’s fourth Cougar

UK-based Subsea Vision Limited has recently added a fourth Saab Seaeye Cougar XT, 2000 metre-rated ROV to its unexploded ordnance (UXO) disposal team.

The ROV will be used to locate and identify UXOs, which can include excavating the seabed to see the objects more clearly. The Cougar then lays a charge alongside the UXO, ready for remote detonation from the surface Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Officer.

If there is a risk that items nearby could be damaged, the UXO is removed by the ROV for disposal elsewhere.

By safely disposing of unexploded ordnance the Cougar performs a vital role in the pre-construction of wind farms, and also during cable routing.

Chris Bryant, managing director of Subsea Vision, says they chose another Cougar XT TMS due to the Cougar’s proven reliability, performance and adaptability: “To maintain commonality of equipment throughout our ROV fleet, Saab Seaeye is an obvious and vital choice for us. The Saab Seaeye support to our management within Subsea Vision is excellent.”

The addition of a further Cougar to their fleet comes from expanded opportunities made possible since the company joined James Fisher & Sons Plc and linked with James Fisher Subsea Services.
