For the design and construction of a new subsea trenching vehicle, named “Swordfish”, Osbit Ltd. (UK) was in need of a subsea trencher lift umbilical, used for launch and recovery of a subsea asset and transmission of electrical power and fibre optic communications. In their search, they came into contact with DeRegt.
Scarce metals and minerals that we will desperately need in the future lie at the bottom of the ocean for us to pick. Therefore, many countries are looking into the possibilities of mining these raw materials at a depth of kilometres. "It's not an easy task", knows Wiebe Boomsma, Manager Product Development at Royal IHC. "In many cases, standard equipment is not enough."
Many clients are unsure of the pros and cons of steel armoured cable or aramid fibre armoured cable. The design of a cable is usually an iterative process and it will probably need to evolve several times, as the system development progresses.
ROVs are at the cutting edge of technology and DeRegt is thrilled to be expanding further into this field, through the addition of Matthieu Scheffers to our team.
From diversification to interdependence, this interview goes into Matthieu’s aims as a new leader in cable solutions for ROVs.
Read all about his take on ROVs and DeRegt, and his ambitions for the future of ROV cable solutions here.
The oil & gas sector is a widely varied field, with a whole range of cable requirements. Each system has different conditions, risks and possibilities. At DeRegt we want to help you find the perfect cable for your situation, which is why we want to give you all the information you need to specify your requirements.
Improving the performance and cutting the cost of deploying work-class ROVs – two key priorities for manufacturers and operators of remotely-operated vehicles, both of which DeRegt is addressing with its new cable solutions.
You know DeRegt as a leading manufacturer of high-end cable solutions. But did you know DeRegt also offers a full cradle to grave field service? This means you can get your cables promptly serviced by their original manufacturer.
DeRegt works with each individual client to provide the perfect cable solution for their specific requirements. Each cable system by DeRegt is custom-made and this does not only apply to the cables themselves, but the terminations as well.
The EU aims to reduce dependency on imports of raw materials. Large quantities of raw materials can be found in deep sea Polymetallic Nodules. Polymetallic Nodules contain relatively high concentrations of Nickel, Copper and Cobalt.
We are proud to present our new product video, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at how we create world-leading cable solutions for clients all over the world, from our base in the Krimpen aan de Lek, the Netherlands.
