Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Services
Franmarine operates a specialised fleet of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) that complement our commercial diving capabilities across all industry sectors. ROVs enhance safety, efficiency, and reach, particularly in hazardous or confined underwater environments, while our dive teams handle precision repairs, welding, and complex inspections.
All ROV operations are integrated with MarineStream™, enabling standardised reporting, real-time remote access, and mission planning. Our fleet features high-definition 4K imaging, sonar, and advanced sensors to deliver clear, actionable intelligence for asset management. Purpose-built terrestrial and magnetic crawlers also provide in-water cleaning and detailed hull and tank inspections, minimising downtime.
By combining ROV and diver capabilities, Franmarine ensures the right approach for every underwater task, delivering scalable, reliable, and precise solutions
ROV Services Include:
Underwater Asset Inspection
Franmarine’s ROVs provide precise inspections of hulls, tanks, and critical infrastructure in both inshore and offshore settings. Capturing UHD video, still images, and condition data, all inspections are integrated with MarineStream™ for informed maintenance, compliance, and reporting.
Accurate Data and Modelling
Using advanced technologies such as GPS, USBL-enabled sonar, subsea laser scanning, and 3D photogrammetry, Franmarine delivers highly accurate spatial and structural data. Integrated with ROV platforms, these tools support maintenance programs, biosecurity compliance, and the creation of digital asset models in high-risk or remote environments.
Hull and Tank Cleaning Technology
Franmarine deploys magnetically adhered hull cleaning systems for flat and curved surfaces, in port or offshore. These environmentally compliant systems reduce biofouling, improve vessel efficiency, and minimise dry-docking, supporting sustainable operations across defence, commercial, and offshore sectors.
Marine Pest and Environmental Monitoring
Qualified marine scientists use ROVs and custom tooling to collect water, sediment, and biological samples for invasive marine species assessment. All data is captured via MarineStream™, enabling transparent reporting, regulatory compliance, and long-term environmental monitoring.
Tank Cleaning and Potable Water Inspection
Specialised ROV and crawler systems clean and inspect potable water tanks without diver entry, reducing service disruption. High-resolution video and structural data are recorded in MarineStream™, supporting asset management, compliance, and water quality standards.
Salvage and Emergency Response
Franmarine provides rapid-response ROVs and marine personnel for salvage and emergency operations. Our ROVs deliver real-time visuals, sonar imaging, and intervention tools to locate and recover submerged assets safely and efficiently.
