In July, engineers from our Survey and Positioning department travelled to Exail’s facility in Montpellier for a week-long training session and Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) on our latest purchase of an inspection class H800 ROV.

This investment aligns with our ongoing commitment to expanding our suite of services in the offshore energy sector.

The H800 vehicle was chosen for its low logistical requirements, ability to operate in harsh environments, and most importantly, its reliability. It has now arrived at our Aberdeen workshop, where integration tests and preparations are being finalised ahead of its first deployment.

Carl Lafferty, Survey Manager, commented: “Having our own vehicle reinforces FMS’s commitment to delivering high-quality services with agility. Adding the H800 to our growing equipment fleet not only complements our existing services but also helps streamline our customers’ supply chain.”
