Forum’s SRV is an onboard-piloted rescue submarine that has been incorporated with the latest subsea vehicle technologies.

It will be capable of operating at depths more than 500m and is expected to have the capacity to accommodate up to 19 people.

The vehicle will also be fully integrated with a hyperbaric rescue facility provided by marine equipment firm SMP.

The Perry XLX-C series ROV has been designed to support the SRV during its missions by assessing and preparing a site for submersible rescue operations.

It is set to be equipped with Forum’s latest technology and will be capable of supplying specialist equipment such as emergency life support systems to distressed submarines.

The two navy vehicles will be designed and built at Forum Energy Technologies’ manufacturing facility in Kirkbymoorside, Yorkshire, UK.
