The FBS “SeaTruck”

Get there faster and do more! With a subsea lifting capacity of 15,000 lbs. and an incredibly low hourly operating cost, our “SeaTruck” platform will be a benefit to commercial, science and salvage end users in a multitude of ways.

 

Diver Support Platform

The FBS can significantly improve bottom time productivity and safety for divers. Providing an almost unlimited amount of air while also eliminating the need for a permanently stationed dive bell. The diver can egress a floodable lock-in / lock-out cabin to perform his work while having permanent access to breathing air. At the end of his shift, the diver can simply reenter the FBS, get dry and comfortable, while the FBS safely decompresses the cabin at an appropriate rate. Upon this cycle being completed, the FBS would simply return to base.

 

Research / Oceanography

Being first and foremost a surface vessel, the FBS doesn’t need to be transported and supported from a large, expensive mother ship to be used. FBS has the ability to explore, chart and monitor our subsea eco system for days at a time, and at a lower cost. Ideal for deployment and recovery of SCUBA divers, oceanographic / scientific sensors, multi-use scientific landers, profiling floats and an array of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles.

Offshore Energy

When you need it fast! The FBS is well suited for many subsea oil, gas & renewable energy needs, including rapid “eyes first” inspection response needs, platform security, diver support, subsea construction or decommissioning. Having resolved insurance provider concerns with manned systems, and with over 80% of all oil and gas infrastructure positioned in less than 500 feet of water, the FBS can allow Work Class ROV’s and support vessels to spend more of their time in deeper waters, relieving the demand on these critical assets.

With over 17,000 miles of pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico alone, isn’t it time that we had a subsea “truck” that can get it done, better, faster and cheaper? We believe so, and with a 15,000 lb. underwater lifting capability and the ability to be fitted with Work Class manipulators and other subsea tooling payloads, the FBS will eventually be known for more than just getting there fast at lower day rates.
