The Tomahawk has been optimized as a survey system. It is configured with intelligent interfaces, including an advanced subCAN control and diagnostics system, and is powered by Sub-Atlantic’s DC propulsion system, which incorporates Statorshield technology.

It is the second system of its kind that Sub-Atlantic has provided for AALEA, with the first successfully completing a major 100-km pipeline survey through the strong currents of the Strait of Messina, a narrow passage of water in the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and the Italian mainland.

The latest Tomahawk ROV for AALEA will be manufactured at Sub-Atlantic’s manufacturing base in Kirkbymoorside, UK, and is due to be delivered in the third-quarter of 2015.

Sub-Atlantic, which has its operations hub in Aberdeen with offices in Houston and Singapore, specializes in the design and manufacture of electric ROV systems and components for operation in remote and harsh environments.
