DeepOcean, in collaboration with SEAONICS and Solstad Offshore, has officially taken delivery of a next-generation uncrewed surface vessel (USV) that integrates VEEM Gyro stabilization technology to support remote-controlled subsea operations.
The USV will be deployed from the Island Condor and is designed to perform remote inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) tasks with minimal personnel on board. A key feature of the platform is its ability to operate beyond visual range in challenging offshore environments — a first in the European subsea sector.
To ensure safe and efficient ROV deployment in dynamic sea states, the USV is equipped with a VEEM Gyrostabilizer. The system plays a critical role in reducing vessel movement during launch and recovery, working in tandem with SEAONICS’ custom-built Launch and Recovery System (LARS). This integration enables operations in significant wave heights and reduces operational risk in remote subsea projects.
VEEM continues to deliver advanced stabilization systems to a range of marine and defence customers globally, from uncrewed platforms to luxury yachts and naval vessels.
