FET To Provide UAE-Based Offshore Construction Firm With Two Work Class Remotely Operated Vehicles
The Forum Energy Technologies (FET) Subsea product line has secured a contract to provide two work class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to CCC (Underwater Engineering) S.A.L (CCC (UE)), the UAE-based offshore construction organisation.
Kevin Taylor, Vice President – Operations, Subsea Technologies said: “CCC (UE) has long been a user of FET ROVs and we are pleased that we are able to further consolidate our relationship with this contract, our first directly with the company.
“These particular subsea assets are robust and built to operate in the harshest of subsea environments. Their reliability is renowned around the world and we look forward to working with CCC (UE) to enhance its global subsea service offerings.”
Tavis Letherby, CCC (UE) ROV/Survey Manager, said: “With acquisition of new DPIII DSCV, Wadad Aletheia, it was important to ensure the vessel has the right WROV systems, capable of working down to a depth of 3,000m, in line with the vessel’s maximum working depth.
“The purchase of the XLX-C 200HP systems, will complement the DPIII DSCV Wadad Aletheia, ensuring its full potential for subsea operations.”
The FET Perry XLX-C 3000m systems will be used for construction, drill support, pipeline and platform inspection, survey, salvage and cleaning services. The first of the two ROVs will be delivered in November 2025, with the second scheduled for delivery in June 2026.
The XLX-C features significantly enhanced performance across the full range of demanding intervention and survey tasks without compromising its reliability. This work-class ROV is
compact yet powerful, delivering 200hp, 3000kg through-frame liſt and advanced hydraulic tooling capabilities. The ROV features the ICE® Unity control system with high-precision auto functions and dynamic positioning, making it ideal for demanding subsea operations.
CCC (UE) offers comprehensive solutions for offshore operations worldwide, including inspection, repair and subsea asset installation.
The two ROVs, which will have a Type 5C Top Hat Tether Management System and 3300 metre umbilical, are being manufactured at FET’s UK facility at Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, UK. FET’s ROVs are used globally to support underwater industry applications, including in defence, traditional and sustainable energy, telecommunications, mining, aquaculture and academia.
