Competent ROV Wreck Discovery Using Advanced ROV Technology
Survey Film by BUVI Scandinavia
BUVI Scandinavia presents a documentary-style film capturing a real-time subsea survey operation in Scandinavian waters. The mission features a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) deployed to conduct a detailed inspection of the pier and the seabed. The ROV is equipped with GPS for accurate positioning, DVL (Doppler Velocity Log) for precise velocity and navigation tracking, and high-resolution sonar for imaging and object detection.
This is an example that highlights BUVI Scandinavia's expertise in underwater surveying and demonstrates the effectiveness of modern ROV systems in maritime archaeology, offshore inspection and environmental monitoring.
Operational Highlights During the survey, the ROV successfully identifies and documents a previously uncharted shipwreck. The sonar system provides clear structural outlines, while GPS data ensures precise geolocation of the site. The DVL enhances navigational stability and allows for accurate tracking of the ROV’s movement relative to the seabed, ensuring consistent data collection and mapping.
