General – ASVs and ROV
Beam, a company created by the recent merger of Rovco and Vaarst, has strengthened its fleet with two new autonomous surface vessels (ASVs), called Xplorers, and a Quantum EV workclass remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
The Quantum EV and Xplorer vessels, acquired by Beam for a total cost of over $19 million, strengthen the company’s ability to support the wind industry across all lifecycle stages.
According to Beam, the new additions will play a central role in its survey, O&M and decommissioning services.
The two Xplorer survey vessels are exceptionally well equipped and capable of performing widespread tasks. Both have vast open aft decks that can carry high payloads and are fitted with intelligent stabilizers that minimize unwanted vessel movement.
Additionally, Beam’s new workboats are fully autonomous, can deploy numerous AI models while collecting data and can beam data back to shore for more efficient processing.
