Phoenix’s Remora III ROV system performs work to water depths of 6,000 msw and was designed and built in-house to meet our unique requirements.  Our ROV personnel were heavily involved in the design of the system, relying on their many years of experience to ensure that the final design met the hazardous requirements of operating in extreme water depths while maximizing the reliability of the system.

Remora III is a 40 horsepower (hp) vehicle that has state-of-the-art sensors and telemetry systems and is equipped with dual manipulators. The vehicle configuration offers small physical size coupled with axial lateral thruster geometry, permitting precisely controlled maneuvers in the tightest of spaces and minimizing the probability of entrapment or entanglement.

The fiber-optic cable utilized by the Remora III contains 3 power conductors and 3 single mode optical fibers.  Two of the fibers are available for customer use for integrating additional customer or Phoenix supplied equipment to meet job-specific needs.  The cable is stored on a winch integrated with a self-contained, compact, air-transportable handling system, featuring an electro-active level wind, self-erecting ‘A’ frame with docking head, and electro-hydraulic power unit.

Finally, the compact design and small footprint allows the system to be easily transported anywhere in the world by air or sea, and quickly mobilized aboard vessels of opportunity to provide cost effective support for a wide range of underwater tasks.
