ROV & equipment


Three classes of ROV system, plus the capture plant that goes with them. Every machine here has worked our own defence and commercial jobs before we offered it to anyone else.

Class 01 Inspection class

Inspection class: Deep Trekker


Portable survey ROVs with 4K imaging and positioning. The same systems document pre- and post-clean condition, and the feed can be shared live. The 3D models below can be orbited, zoomed and panned if you want to see how the chassis go together.

ROV AutoConnect

The DeepTrekker feed streams straight into the software, with no separate capture rig.

Live stakeholder access

Owners, class and regulators watch the same survey in real time.

Every frame lands against its asset and zone on one record.

Software overview
Class 02 Intervention class

Intervention class: Valour


For when the job stops being observation and starts being work. These vehicles carry tooling, hold station in current, and operate where an inspection ROV would be pushed off the asset.

Intervention work covers the tasks that sit between a survey and a full dive spread: clearing an obstruction, operating a valve or latch, recovering equipment, taking measurements by contact, or holding a tool steady against a structure while the job is recorded.

  • Manipulator and tooling interfaces for contact work
  • Thrust and station-holding for current-affected sites
  • Multi-camera imaging with the same live stakeholder access
  • Payload capacity for sensors, sonar and task-specific tooling
  • Records to the MarineStream platform like every other system

There is no single Valour package. Configurations are specified against the task, the depth and the environment, so tell us the work and we will quote a vehicle that suits it.

Class 03 Cleaning class

Cleaning class: the CLIIN magnetic crawler


A remotely operated crawler that works the hull above and below the waterline on permanent-magnet tracks, with no divers on the plate. The fresh-water cavitation head strips fouling without abrasion, so modern antifouling coatings survive the clean.

Because it is robotic and self-adhering, the crawler is not tied to a berth. We run it at anchorage and at sea with the vessel adrift.

Add-on Capture & filtration

The capture system behind a compliant clean


The cleaning-class crawler plus everything needed to keep material out of the water column. Three elements feed one uplift line into one filtration plant, which meets biosecurity discharge standards anywhere we have taken it.

Magnetic hull crawler with cavitation head and dual capture ports
1 · Capture shroud

What makes our crawler different

Off the shelf, the crawler releases whatever it removes. Our shroud encloses the cavitation head with dual debris-exhaust ports, holds negative pressure against the hull, and draws about 1,200 L/min of effluent straight into the uplift line.

2 · Niche-area tooling

Where the crawler can't reach

Propellers, rudders, sea chests, bilge keels and thrusters are cleaned by divers using suction-through-head blades and capture cups. Robotic, handheld or penetration, every head returns its effluent through the same uplift line.

3 · IWHC filtration plant

Filter, disinfect, discharge

A self-contained, ISO-deployable plant captures, filters and disinfects the full stream. There is no bypass line, so every drop passes all four stages. Solids are bagged for compliant disposal.

Proven in service

Australia's first robotic in-water hull clean with full capture, delivered on a defence vessel.
