ROV Inspection
Remotely operated vehicle deployment for direct visual inspection and light intervention at a specific point.
What It Produces
Where a sonar dataset says something is worth a closer look — a wreck feature, a pipeline joint, a net snagged on structure — the ROV Pod launches a tethered vehicle to confirm it visually, not just acoustically.
Where It Fits
Slow and site-specific by nature; it follows a survey to a known point, it doesn't replace the wide-area survey that found the point.
Deployed From
Run from the same 7m/9m platforms covered under Platforms, applied to subsea survey work and heritage and conservation missions alike — the technique doesn't change, only the purpose it's deployed for.
