Oceaneering’s workshop in Stavanger, Norway, will immediately commence development, manufacturing, and pool testing.

"We will use our Oceaneering eNovus work class ROV and new technology to supply the required battery power and communication links needed to support the project."

In May, an offshore mobilisation test of the system will be conducted.

The test will see the E-ROV system being deployed and recovered from a Statoil-operated IMR vessel at the Troll field in the North Sea.

This system will perfrom specific subsea operations, while Oceaneering will maintain uninterrupted control from its onshore mission support centre in Stavanger.
