SEAEYE LYNX – A NEW STANDARD ROV FOR STOLT OFFSHORE

As part of an ongoing asset improvement programme Stolt Offshore have selected Seaeye Marine to provide their new standard inspection ROV. The system, designed to a Stolt Offshore specification, is the Seaeye Lynx. The system is depth rated to 1500 metres and can be fitted with various tooling skids including a manipulator and a flooded member detection skid.

Two systems are to be delivered in May each with Seaeye’s new 250 metre excursion TMS and gravity based launch and recovery system. Workshop and zone 2 rated control containers will also be provided to complete the package and provide Seaeye with their largest single order for ROV systems to date.

Seaeye Lynx is a derivative of the Seaeye Puma in an enlarged frame that provides improved water flow through the vectored thrusters and performance to match the smaller and lighter Seaeye Tiger observation ROV. The two vertical thrusters have been repositioned to achieve greater dive and surface speed.

All Seaeye ROVs feature brushless DC thrusters, which, apart from having the greatest power density, have integrated drive electronics with velocity feedback for precise and rapid thrust control. These thrusters are interfaced to a fast PID control system along with a solid-state rate gyro for enhanced azimuth stability. These essential building blocks enable Seaeye Marine to provide superior control and response from their powerful ROVs, setting them apart from the competition.

‘We are extremely proud to have won the competition to design and build a standard inspection ROV for Stolt Offshore’ said Ian Blamire of Seaeye ‘The Lynx is the highest specification system that we have built so far and sets a new standard in electrically powered ROVs’.
