Forum Energy Technologies said June 8 that Wuxi Haiying-Cal Tec Marine Technology Co. Ltd. will represent Forum for the sale of the company’s extensive range of remotely operated vehicles in China, including its recently launched XLe Spirit electric ROV.
The vehicle, which recently completed a successful sea trial in Norway, is the first of a new generation of electric observation class ROVs. It is the smallest in the new range, and powerful enough to perform subsea maintenance and repair work.
“We continue to see strong demand for our products in China and the wider Asian market, and recognized the need for a local partner to support our long-term growth strategy,” Kevin Taylor, vice president of subsea vehicles at Forum Energy Technologies, said.
“It’s important that we work with the best and most well-respected partners in-country and Wuxi Haiying-Cal Tec Marine Technology Co. Ltd. provides us with another strong channel to complement our existing framework across the academic, survey and energy markets.
“This agreement ensures that our clients in China receive the same streamlined and consistent support they are accustomed to around the globe. We look forward to engaging with new and existing companies through this partnership to grow our foothold in China and deliver our world-class range of reliable ROVs.”
