Scorpio ROV
Scorpio ROV is a type of Remotely Operated Vehicle specifically designed for subsea use. It is manufactured by Perry Slingsby Systems, a leading provider of advanced subsea solutions to the offshore industry.
History[edit | edit source]
The Scorpio ROV was first developed in the 1980s by Perry Tritech, a company that later became part of Perry Slingsby Systems. The design was based on the earlier Pisces series of ROVs, but with significant improvements in power, control, and payload capacity.
Design and Features[edit | edit source]
The Scorpio ROV is a work-class vehicle, meaning it is designed for heavy-duty operations in challenging subsea environments. It is equipped with a powerful hydraulic propulsion system, allowing it to operate at depths of up to 3000 meters.
The vehicle is equipped with a range of sensors and tools, including sonar systems, manipulators for handling objects, and video cameras for visual inspection. It can also be fitted with additional equipment for specific tasks, such as cutters, water jets, and drills.
Applications[edit | edit source]
Scorpio ROVs are used in a variety of subsea applications, including archaeology, salvage, construction, and inspection. They are also used in the offshore oil and gas industry for tasks such as pipeline inspection, well intervention, and platform installation.
