Boxfish ROV Application  Offshore Oil & Gas — Observation, Asset Inspection & Light Maintenance Offshore oil and gas (O&G) and renewable energy industries have traditionally used heavy-duty work class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for observation, inspection and maintenance of submerged assets. However, these industrial ROVs are costly and cumbersome, require surface power and cannot be deployed in small spaces. A lightweight, portable observation class ROV, like Boxfish ROV, offers improved methods to perform offshore inspection tasks up to 1,000 metres deep. A team of two can launch the compact battery-powered ROV by hand for deployment in various areas of a rig or ship. Despite its compact size, Boxfish ROV can manoeuvre strong currents effortlessly and has a rugged, faulttolerant design suitable for harsh refinery environments. The vehicle has six degrees of freedom of movement, meaning it can move in any direction at any orientation, allowing ROV pilots to perform various underwater tasks and operations. Two ultra-wide-angle navigation cameras complement the primary 4K camera and give the operator excellent situational awareness. Unparalleled underwater vision and a large payload capacity allow the Boxfish ROV with integrated add-ons to be used for asset inspection, NDT surveys, drilling support and light maintenance work. Why Use a Boxfish ROV for Offshore O&G Extended Runtime Superior Image Quality The Boxfish ROV can run for up to 15 hours, depending upon conditions. A fast-charge option allows users to recharge batteries in 30-45 minutes if mains power is available in the field. Boxfish ROV’s front camera delivers superior uncompressed 4K UHD video footage and 20-megapixel stills, allowing detailed examination of structures and anomalies. The camera’s 6x true 4K zoom facilitates non-intrusive inspection of underwater assets from a distance. Flexibility and Capacity to Upgrade Boxfish ROV is a flexible platform allowing users to add up to eight sensors or accessories. Available addons include sonar, USBL positioning system, ultrasonic thickness gauge (UT), cathodic probe sensor (CP), rotary cleaning brush, rope cutter and grabber. Live logging functionality for sensors enables users to record data on the video in real time or input into client reporting systems. © Boxfish Research Limited. All rights reserved.
