Abstract

A full remotely operated vehicle (ROV) pipeline inspection spread has now become a rather complex production plant with many potentially weak links. The main units of this plant are the ROV with all its sensors/tools, the support vessel, the positioning systems, and the data acquisition and processing systems. The complexity is increased by the many categories of personnel on board. In addition to the ROV and vessel crews we have surveyors, instrument technicians, programmers, data processors and sometimes pipeline engineers or corrosion protection specialists on board.
