Forum Energy Technologies received an order from Subsea 7 to supply eight work-class remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems. The ROVs will be delivered through late 2014 and 2015.
The order comprises two Perry XLX Evo 200HP ROVs for Subsea 7’s new-build Heavy Construction Vessel (HCV) and six Perry XLX-C 150HP ROVs for three new-build Pipe-lay Support Vessels (PSVs) for the Brazilian market. The Perry XLX Evo heavy work-class and XLX-C medium work-class ROVs are the latest generation of the Perry XL series. The XLX-C features enhanced performance across the full range of intervention and survey activities without compromising the reliability of the XL series.
“Forum is pleased with its association with Subsea 7, a premier subsea contractor”, said Bill Boyle, Forum Subsea Technologies’ senior vice president. “The choice of Perry vehicles for the operationally demanding Brazilian market represents a vote of confidence in the reliability of the XLX-C system and supports Forum Subsea’s strategy of providing first-class engineering and after-market support and service to Subsea 7 and our other Brazilian customers from our facilities in Rio de Janeiro and Rio das Ostras.”
