Achieving speeds faster than 2 knots with an ROV requires the consideration of available propulsion systems, hydrodynamics, power supply, and operational safety. While faster speeds offer benefits such as efficiency and rapid response, they also…
Anodized aluminum is aluminum that goes through an electrochemical process to form a protective layer of oxide on its surface. This oxide layer is hard, durable, and corrosion-resistant, which is required of materials used in…
Colors appear to change underwater due to the absorption and scattering of light as it passes through the water. Water acts as a “filter” for different wavelengths of light, and this filtering effect can alter…
ROV payloads are typically calculated based on several factors. Some of these factors include the vehicle’s buoyancy, thruster capabilities, power supply, and overall design. The payload capacity refers to the maximum weight the ROV can…
When rinsing your ROVs, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations. You want to ensure proper cleaning procedures and avoid any potential damage. Different ROV models and types may have specific instructions for…
Syntactic foam is a specialized type of buoyant material commonly used in underwater applications, including ROVs. We use this material at SEAMOR Marine for buoyancy and it plays a role in our ROV payload capabilities….
The choice of creating cube-shaped ROV models depended on various factors such as the intended purpose, operating environment, and design requirements. There are a several advantages associated with cube-shaped ROVs that make them suitable for…
Water pressure has a significant impact on ROVs. As an ROV descends into the depths of the ocean, it experiences increasing water pressure due to the weight of the water column above it. Here are…
Here is a short list of ROV structural components of a typical mid-sized model. Each brand has a different design. The quality between ROVs varies based on material choices. Some brands prefer to produce cheap…
It is a month after World Oceans Day but that does not mean SEAMOR does not continue its contributions to the ocean. Everyone knows that our oceans are overexploited and polluted with plastics and other…
NANAIMO, BC, CANADA, July 4, 2023 – SEAMOR Marine is proud to announce that Brayden Wray has joined our team in the role of Director of Strategic Technical Sales and Training. He brings a wealth of…
ROV thrusters are not all built the same, nor are they used in the same manner. SEAMOR has perfected the art of ROV thrust in its many years of service. Vector Thrust Vector thrust is…
