Copenhagen Subsea A/S

Headquartered and inspired by its namesake city, Copenhagen

Subsea melds the technical with the aesthetic, creating products de- signed to be reliable, powerful and attractive. Copenhagen Subsea uses the latest manufacturing technology for its thruster and ROV technology; for example, they make diligent use of 3D printing for the propellers. Copenhagen Subsea most recently launched a new powerful ROV, the Gorilla, which uses eight Copenhagen Subsea thrusters, designed to make it reliable and robust while keeping its position in strong currents and allowing for operation in harsh and demanding environments. The Gorilla ROV is equipped as standard with an intelligent Dynamic Positioning (DP) system, enabling au- tomatic control of position, depth, altitude, heading, pitch and roll.

The Gorilla ROV is based on industrial hardware from the Japanese industrial electronics company OMRON, built to handle extreme conditions such as high current inrush from the thruster during de- celeration and current overload at fast shifting of the thruster direc- tion. Both of these are critical for the ROV to be able to keep its position in strong currents. In short, the Gorilla is tough and strong, works reliably in challenging conditions, is simple to maintain with easy access to spare parts and is easily controlled thanks to Copen- hagen Subsea’s innovative thruster technology, making it suited for completing any task in tough offshore conditions. www.copenhagensubsea.com 66 September/October 2021
