Creeper

Creeper is a new vehicle that is use to perform close-up inspection on ropes .Sea Trepid along with Inktun, a Canadian firm developed the cheeper which is based on clasping mechanism.The capturing of video using ROVs is very shaky and as a result simultaneously video capture can`t easy to continue. The creeper is developed to overcome this resistance .Cheeper contains a ring of four cameras with LEDs(Light Emitting Device ).The camera can take overlapping videos, so inspection on ropes would be more ac cute than before . The attachment of creeper with the ropes is done by ROV , then it feeds video to the surface station. It has the characteristics of jettisoning , so cheeper can roll back up easily .But the creeper has some limitations first one is ,it can`t pass gently along the rope and the second one is ,it can`t able to negotiate the full length of mooring.So, creeper will become a reliable inspection tool of many gas and oil installations. The Creeper will be come on the market by late summer 2009 .

Sea Robot

World`s leading offshore oil and gas induestry goes into depper water day by day with the help of ROVs(Remotely Operated Vehicle) and AUVs(Autonomous Underwater Vehicle)
This ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) uses in different underwater application such as Underwater exploration & documentation, recoveries, inspections, search and rescue, trenching, cable burial and much more.
Today it is used in some major maritime sucurity issue such as
Ø Seaport / Port Security and Surveillance
Ø ,Ship Inspections
Ø Pipeline Inspections
Ø Oil Rig Surveillance and Inspections
Ø Docking Perimeter Inspections and Detections
Ø Barge Inspections
Ø Docked Cruise Ship Inspections
Ø Tanker Security and Inspections
Basic features on an ROV include:.
Ø Modular, mission-specific toolsled packages which can be changed out quickly and easily.
Ø High resolution video cameras with zoom and pan or tilt and fiber optic telemetry.
Ø Powerful electric thrusters to combine precise control, high thrust levels and relatively quiet operational capabilities.
Ø Variable buoyancy system which allows neutral buoyancy at all depths and during sampling operations.
Ø Scientific sensors and data logging integrated into the core vehicle system so the crew will be able to see and in some cases hear what is going on.

The AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) is can be quickly reconfigured to host a number of payloads without modifying basic components i e, the propulsion, navigation, power, control, and emergency location systems. It contains four mapping sonars that operate simultaneously
Ø multibeam sonar: produces high-resolution bathymetry.
Ø two frequencies of sidescan sonars: produce imagery based on the intensity of the sound energy's reflections.
Ø sub-bottom profiler : penetrates sediments on the seafloor, allowing the detection of layers within thesediments, faults, and depth to the basement rock.
All components are rated to 6000 m depth it runs on its own battery power until it returns to the ship, as programmed, for recovery.
AUV is mainly used in
Ø Observing water column
Ø Seafloar mapping
Ø Docking
