General – ROV Deployment
Boskalis announces the first deployment of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) from its new Remote Operations Center (ROC) in Aberdeen.
The deployment follows an 18-month development program and an investment of GBP 40 million in ROVs and the ROC. This milestone reflects the company’s continuous focus on innovation, safety and future-proof offshore solutions.
The ROC significantly expands Boskalis’ remote operating capabilities by enabling critical subsea tasks to be supported and controlled from shore.
The center provides a central hub for fleet operations, offers additional on-demand expertise to support offshore crews and is designed to enhance operational efficiency, strengthen safety and ensure consistent delivery across projects.
The center has successfully completed a test phase, during which ROVs underwent a week of intensive trials from Boskalis’ construction support vessel BOKA Northern Ocean in the North Sea to validate remote operations across a range of anticipated scenarios.
