Beluga our next generation of advanced ROVs, will be more powerful than Mike with the ability to perform operations in sea-state 4-5 and reach 200m depth, with more than double the thrust capacity and a greatly improved vision & illumination system. Apart from visual inspection, Beluga is capable of performing ultrasonic thickness measurements, spot bio-fouling cleaning, cathodic protection (CP) potential measurements (for ships, offshore installations and other immersed structures) and various acoustic surveys (side-scan survey for seabed mapping, bathymetry and environmental surveys). Despite possessing such advanced features, Beluga is portable, lightweight and versatile, offering the ability to mount additional sensors on-demand for operations, tailored to client requirements.
