Record-holding fall pipe ROV able to accurately position rocks at more than 1000 meters of water depth

This fall pipe ROV system was completed in 2011 for Van Oord’s rock-dumping vessel “Stornes”. In 2014, this ROV broke the world record for subsea rock installation, installing rocks at a water depth of 1277 meters.
