OUR ROV FLEET
Heavy Duty (HD)
The Heavy Duty (HD) ROV has a smaller design while still executing at high performance for subsea operations, making this ROV ideal for manipulating tight spaces. Designed with the most advanced technology, this ROV system leads the industry in reliability and performance. The modular design of the vehicle decreases maintenance time by a factor of 6-to-1 compared to standard industry vehicles. As for environmental impact, the stainless-steel tubing used throughout the hydraulic system offers the most reliable method to avoid leakage.

RELIABLE LAUNCH AND RECOVERY EQUIPMENT
Two Gamechangers: LARS and TMS
C-Innovation uses two systems – the LARS (Launch and Recovery System) and TMS (Tether Management System) – to successfully launch and recover from the vessel’s side, stern or internal moon pool. C-Innovation employs active heave compensated winches and several different styled A-frames in order to continue work subsea while overcoming the limitation of weather.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
“All of the ROV team onboard during operations performed SAFELY and PROACTIVELY. Many thanks for the job WELL DONE!”
BY THE END OF 2022
24 ROVs in Operation
C-Innovation is expected to reach 24 full time contracts for operating ROVs in Brazil by the end of 2022. We continue to meet and exceed our clients’ high expectations in the ROV market.
