Custom ROV Solutions for Stinger Technology

Stinger Technology AS has taken delivery of a custom Seaeye

Falcon ROV to be used under a contract from Dong Energy for environmental sampling and inspection inside the oil storage tank of the Siri offshore platform, located in the North Sea about 220 kilometers off the Danish coast. The storage tank measures 50 x 66 meters and is 17.5 meters high, with a designed stor- age volume of 50,000 cubic meters. It is split internally into 16 compartments, some of which are only accessible through a 10-inch jumper pipe. Therefore, Stinger has opted to use the

Seaeye Falcon ROV to carry a VideoRay vehicle small enough to enter the tank’s compartments. A tether management system (TMS) has been mounted under the Falcon for carrying the Vid- eoRay umbilical. The Falcon’s add-ons include additional pow- er and electric motor for driving the TMS. MacArtney supplied an extensive spare parts package, FAT and a technical training course. www.macartney.com

ARIS Explorer Aids UXO

Identi? cation Mission

Sound Metrics has supplied an ARIS Explorer 3000 to help identify un- exploded ordnances (UXO) along the coastline of the North Sea. The sonar’s clarity and high-resolution imaging in zero-visibility waters of- fered the detail critical to identifying the UXO, and the team success- fully gathered information on the target’s dimensions, characteristics and location, found to be consistent with a highly explosive German LMB

Ground Mine. Due to the successful identi? cation of the target, the team could effectually evaluate risk and carry out a plan of action to protect seafarers. www.soundmetrics.com
