Sub-Atlantic has won a second remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) contract with Italian oil and gas subsea services provider, AALEA, according to a news release. Sub-Atlantic will deliver one of its Tomahawk observation ROV systems.

The Tomahawk has been optimized as a survey system. It is configured with intelligent interfaces, including an advanced subCAN control and diagnostics system, and is powered by Sub-Atlantic’s DC propulsion system which incorporates Statorshield technology, Sub-Atlantic said in the release.

It is the second system of its kind that Sub-Atlantic has provided for AALEA with the first completing a major 100-km pipeline survey through the strong currents of the Strait of Messina, a narrow passage of water in the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and the Italian mainland, the release said.

The latest Tomahawk ROV for AALEA will be manufactured at Sub-Atlantic’s manufacturing base in Kirkbymoorside, Yorkshire, and is due to be delivered in third-quarter 2015.
