ROV for deep waters (SEAEYE LEOPARD)

The SEAEYE LEOPARD is used in various research and work activities in depth up to 3000m using special tools such as multibeam sonar, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profiler, CO2 meter, methane sensor and other water quality instrumentation. The tethered management system (TMS) ensures stability in aquatic bottom work without the influence of tidal flows.
As a work class ROV, the SEAEYE LEOPARD is intended for benthic resources, academic, environmental and biological researches, and offshore engineering, submarine cable and facility maintenance and inspection work.
