58 MTR May 2011 inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) applications. The HD’s inte- grated system design leverages modu- lar sub-systems for ease of mainte- nance, and provides the most on- board space available in a mid-size vehicle for integrating specialized intervention tooling. GOSL Takes Delivery of Sub- Atlantic Mohawk Integrated with SeeTrack CoPilot SeeByte has successfully integrated and delivered SeeTrack CoPilot with the Sub-Atlantic Mohawk to Geodetic Offshore Services Limited (GOSL). GOSL recently purchased the Mohawk Inspection Class ROV to offer offshore pipeline surveys, inspection surveys and tooling capa- bilities in order to support the grow- ing needs of their clients. Realising the benefits of the solutions offered by SeeByte’s SeeTrack CoPilot soft- ware, GOSL have purchased a SeeTrack licence to accompany the Mohawk. The system was demon- strated and accepted at the Sub- Atlantic test tank in Blackburn, Aberdeenshire on Tuesday 12th April. “I was very pleased to see for myself how easy it was to control the ROV using SeeTrack” said Emanuel Ekpeyong CEO of GOSL, who had never piloted an ROV prior to this demo. ADC MK 5 Subcontract Awarded to Bluefin Bluefin Robotics won a subcontract from Ultra Electronics Ocean Systems, Inc., to support Ultra in the development, design, fabrication, integration, and testing of the acoustic device countermeasure (ADC) MK 5 with a particular responsibility of providing the mobil- ity subsystem. The ADC will be an acoustic torpedo countermeasure with advanced features that can be employed either as a static or mobile device. It will replace the legacy MK 2 and MK 3 torpedo countermea- sures and improve the defense of Navy submarines against acoustic homing torpedoes. The ADC MK 5 program marks an expansion of the Bluefin product line which currently includes five different AUV models. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, D.C., is the contracting activity. PROJECT: New Imaging Sonar System for Ultra-Deep O&G Ops BlueView Technologies was award- ed funding from RPSEA (Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America) and is partnered with Chevron’s Energy Technology Company to test acoustic imaging and measurement systems that improve underwater metrology, accelerate installations, enhance inspection capability to ensure flow, and reduce downtime or shut-in with detailed structure assessments. BlueView will increase the fidelity of engineering information by provid- ing detailed measurements, leak detection, and detection of degraded pipeline insulation in ultra-deepwater (>15,000). The new inspection capa- bilities can improve operating effi- ciency, reduce time and costs, mini- mize reworks, and improve safety and environmental performance by pro- viding data to enable proactive main- tenance and repair activities. BlueView Supports Rozalia Project BlueView Technologies is support- ing the Rozalia Project with its popu- lar 2D Imaging Sonar. The Rozalia Project is a grass roots organization based in the north eastern U.S. and is dedicated to locating and removing marine debris, as well as working with groups to educate and inspire people on the effects of marine debris. The Rozalia Project uses state- of-the art underwater imaging tech- nology, including BlueView 2D Imaging Sonar on a VideoRay ROV to hunt for marine debris on both the surface and the sea floor. www.blueview.com SJC System Consortium Contracts with SubCom, NEC The global consortium of telecom- munications companies formed to people & companies The images above shows an under- water 3D scan captured with the BlueView BV5000 3D Mechanical Scanner.
