Subsea simulator supplier General Robotics Ltd (GRL) has won an order for two further ROVolution simulators from Fugro.
The new units, together with Fugro’s existing ROVolution simulator, which will be used to train remotely-operated vehicle pilots on both the new Fugro-built advanced work class ROV, the FCV 3000, and a typical Fugro-owned intermediate class ROV, the Seaeye Tiger.
The simulators will be delivered this quarter and be sited in Aberdeen, Singapore and the Brazilian city of Macae.
The new simulators have been configured to model both the FCV 3000 ROV - equipped with a RigMaster grabber arm and Titan 4 manipulator - and the Seaeye Tiger ROV. Fugro’s existing ROVolution simulator is being upgraded to the same specification.
All the simulators have been equipped with a new hydrodynamic module to simulate the different operating characteristics of the electrically powered Seaeye Tiger, and the hydraulically operated FCV 3000.
The ROVolution simulator is a five PC system running Windows XP with dual core processors. The system is equipped with a built-in firewall so GRL can give customers fast remote support over the internet and tunnel into their system over a secure encrypted virtual private network to take control of the simulator remotely. The system also allows remote upgrades to be delivered automatically.
