Project Overview

A long-term rental project with CBO Group, operating for Petrobras in Brazil. The scope required cutting large-diameter mooring chain reliably under significant tension. By developing a custom ROV skid, the solution eliminated the need for crane deployment. The equipment consistently delivered clean cuts in under 30 minutes, with an impressive average of just 18 minutes.

Key Highlights

  • Ability to cut up to 120mm mooring chain in under 30 minutes
  • Custom ROV skid eliminated need for crane deployment
  • Secured as a 2-3 year long-term rental
