FMC Technologies, Inc. will supply six work-class ROV systems to Tidewater Subsea for its subsea operations business. The systems will be supplied by FMC Technologies' schilling robotics business unit and are expected to be delivered year-end 2013. The contract is valued at about US$30 million.
The ROV systems will be mobilized onboard Tidewater's deepwater vessels to service the global oil and gas offshore construction and inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) markets.
"FMC Technologies is very pleased to have been awarded this contract by Tidewater," Tore Halvorsen, FMC Technologies' senior VP, Subsea Technologies said. "These heavy duty work-class ROV systems will allow Tidewater to further expand its life of field service offering to the oil and gas market."
