The cutting tool developments reflect Webtool’s ability to adapt its cutting technology to meet the changing needs of the offshore industry. These include long-term deployment of ‘resident’ ROVs subsea, electric ROVs, advances in AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) technology, and emergency disconnection for well intervention and IWOCS systems. Surface vessels are able to benefit from Webtool technology too. The Webtool emergency deck cutter is designed to protect tugs and other offshore vessels during towing operations, in line with industry best practice.
