Subsea Cables and the next-generation all-electric ROVs

For 40 years or more, ROVs have been used for underwater tasks in oil & gas drilling, defense and ocean research. Over time, ROV technology has vastly improved in size and sophistication. While seemingly mundane, the cables that transmit power, communications, and data to and from the ROV have also become quite sophisticated. 


Since those early beginnings, a new emphasis on renewable energy resources has accelerated the use of ROVs for installing offshore wind turbines, and more recently wave and tidal (ocean) power. As coastal waters become more crowded, power companies are branching into deeper waters.

In subsea projects, deck equipment should be qualitative and prevent downtime - especially if used offshore for weeks or even months. Deck equipment that doesn’t work properly dramatically impacts customer satisfaction rates. A company that works hard to improve its customer experience is Honghai Marine. Honghai is an integrator and service provider of deck equipment for oceanographic research ships.

The drive for more fuel-efficient, sustainable solutions, along with technological improvements, is creating a growing demand for unmanned marine vehicles in many applications. In addition to the more common remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), many of these missions are being carried out by uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) or autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Often, an ROV works in conjunction with a USV.

The Rise of Electrical ROVs: Benefits and challenges in development

Dec 20, 2022 10:32:26 AM / by Marco Cano posted in ROV Cables, ROV innovations

The global trend toward a more sustainable and socially responsible world has accelerated the transition to renewable energy in the ROV industry. Though some smaller electric ROVs have become more commonplace in recent years, larger work-class ROVs have historically relied on hydraulics to power their operations. As a result of the drive for sustainability, however, OEMs are beginning to develop fully electric work-class ROVs, or eWROVs.

ROV Cable Construction: laying up the opto-electrical core of your ROV umbilical cable

Feb 8, 2022 10:42:52 AM / by Marco Cano posted in ROV Cables, Fields Service

0 Comments

The construction of an ROV umbilical cable is specialized work. The cable must be as compact as possible, but at the same time, components must be able to remain intact while applying load to the cable and while bending and flexing the cable. How should my opto-electrical cable core be constructed to survive the high loads applied while remaining flexible?
