Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. announced today that it has received an order from New Orient Marine Pte. Ltd, to supply three remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for its multi-purpose ice-class vessel currently under construction in Singapore.



The order includes two Perry™ XLX 200 horsepower, 4,000 meter Work Class ROV systems and one Sub-Atlantic™ Comanche 3,000 meter Observation Class ROV. Forum will also provide operation and maintenance training for New Orient Marine’s personnel, as well as on board support during the ROV mobilisation.

Forum’s ROV systems are scheduled for delivery this year. New Orient Marine’s new build, multi-purpose ice-class vessel has been designed to operate in ambient temperatures as low as minus 30 degree Celsius. The first project for the new vessel will involve subsea intervention, inspection, maintenance and underwater welding of existing gas pipeline systems.
