Abstract :
Following success in remotely operated vehicle (ROV) designs such as MMIM, IZE, SOLO, ORVIL, CIRRUS, PIC, and OBSERVER, Slingsby Engineering Limited (SEL) has now developed its technology to build and prove a new ROV, TROJAN. TROJAN is a dedicated subsea support vehicle, which results from extensive market research being applied to a base of 15 years in the underwater technology market. SEL has been at the forefront of the evolution of this market from early manned submersible days, followed by atmospheric diving systems to ROV´s. The TROJAN ROV is conceived as a subsea workhorse offering a new dimension to subsea support operations. TROJAN benefits by incorporation of proven technology developed by SEL in recent years on SOLO, PIC, and CIRRUS projects. Using standard components, TROJAN´s high reliability and efficient performance offer a versatile and cost-effective work system.
