DSV is a deep-water survey company using Autonomous Underwater vehicles such as Kongsberg Hugin 6000, able to dive at 6,000 msw depth with a long track record in the deep ocean space.

Through combined efforts for common clients, DSV and DOS can offer AUV and ROV services from the same platform with shared multirole personnel. Minerals survey, O&G industry, or NOG, those looking for turnkey solutions are offered full operational solutions of inspection/sampling down to 6,000 m.

This very compact spread reduces mobilization costs and support vessel specifications, for a lower carbon footprint, fewer people, and less risk. DSV and DOS redefine the standards of deep-sea operations by combining technology, precision, and simplicity.

Simplified Control of Deep-Water Ops

With Mariner XL, Deep Ocean Search is offering for hire a 6,000 msw capable WROV which can be mobilized quickly and easily for rapid deployment anywhere in the world: a launch & recovery system, an ultra-long range inertial and acoustic positioning system, a pilot station and a store space, all in only 4 x 20’ containers. Deployment on board requires no major structural modifications to the support vessel and no calibration. The Argus Mariner XL is a light work-class ROV designed for ultra-deep operations, inspection, sampling, object recovery, imaging, and data acquisition.

Mariner XL deepwater WROV is offering Deep Ocean Search Ltd clients a full range of services based on our 20 years of experience in deepwater projects. Capable of reaching depths of up to 6,000 msw, it is an advanced piece of equipment used for subsea operations (e.g., survey, IMR, construction, etc.) in various industries, including oil & gas, field inspection, minerals survey or sampling, scientific research, and military applications.

Nicolas Vincent, Operations Manager of DOS, commented on the launch, “Following the recent launch of our new Mariner XL ROV, we are very happy about the opportunity to join forces with Deep Sea Vision, who share the same philosophy of operations as DOS. Our latest generation of assets (ROV and AUV) will be offering for hire a 6,000 msw capable solution which can be mobilized quickly and easily for rapid deployment anywhere in the world. This joined effort shows our common concept that unites everyone at DOS: team spirit and teamwork.”

Tony Romeo, CEO of DSV, added: “The opportunity to team with DOS in the commercial sector continues in Deep Sea Vision’s focus on autonomy in the very deep ocean sector. Traditionally, clients will consider operations with multiple vessels. With the trust in our autonomous vehicles, they can run independently from the mothership, allowing concurrent ROV operations. The cost savings and faster access to data can then be passed directly to the end clients.

Ready for Subsea and Survey Services

DOS carrying out survey services for various industries such as Oil & Gas: Geophysical acquisitions, photogrammetry, metrology, sampling, rig move or ROV survey/sampling, field development/construction survey, subsea structure inspection, TDP monitoring, pre-lay/post lay survey, debris survey, and, out of Straightness survey. It is a pioneer in deep water survey, salvage, and positioning, providing unique expertise to its customers with a long track record on deep water heavy subsea operations, such as salvage for the industry, government, NOG, and private clients. As a seasoned project manager, DOS is able to supply consultancy, R&D and engineering for its clients. DOS has manufactured the first Full Ocean Depth (11,000 m depth rated) Side scan, supported the launch of the first swarm of AUVs Hugin 6000 (up to 8 vehicles), supported the integration of Geotech devices on crewless vessels (78 m length), and created Full Ocean Depth subsea tracking for manned submarines.

Deep Sea Vision (DSV) comprises a team of seasoned subsea professionals gathered to perform selected operations for targeted specialized clientele.  The core of the search technology is the latest in deepwater mapping equipment based upon the Kongsberg HUGIN 6000 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) platform. The main search sensor for this system is the cutting-edge Kongsberg Maritime HiSAS 1032 Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) system. Implementing the HiSAS is the EM2040 Bathymetric mapping sonar, CathX Color Camera/Laser permitting final optical imaging of targets, Sub Bottom Profiler 2–16 kHz for sub-surface stratification, and a magnetometer for magnetic anomalies, both geological and man-made. This vehicle also houses an extended environmental section to integrate any 3rd-party sensor a client may request.
