Evaluation Procedure for Purchasing an Inspection-Class Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)

摘要

Selecting a inspection class ROV, used primarily for searching for and inspecting underwater objects or observing underwater activity, can be a challenging task. The industry is evolving rapidly, with vendors entering and leaving the business and capabilities (or at least features) changing rapidly. Compounding this is a lack of industry standards that can be used for comparing different models and manufacturers and the wide range of tasks for which ROV's are employed.
