Introduction
The oil and gas industry is expanding into deeper and more difficult locations Number of subsea developments is growing Despite continuing work on design and manufacture of more reliable hardware, failures and wear and tear persist Need to carry out remotely a number of tasks relevant to installation, inspection, maintenance, workover and recovery Focus on safe and cost-effective techniques
What is a "ROV"
A Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) as an underwater robot that allows the vehicle's operator to remain in a comfortable environment while the ROV performs the work underwater. An umbilical, or tether, carries power and command and control signals to the vehicle and the status and sensory data back to the operators topside. In larger systems, a subsea garage and tether management system (TMS) are often included.
Underwater Vehicles
- Remotely operated vehicles ROVs - Autonomous underwater vehicles AUVs 1- ROVs are for commercial use and communicate with support ship via cable. The main function of the cable is to transmit video picture and electricity to power the ROV propellers and accessories. 2- AUVs communicate with support ship via acoustics or underwater sound waves. AUVs are primarily used for research and military applications.

Types of ROVs
ROVs can vary in size from small vehicles fitted with one TV camera (used for simple observation), up to complex work systems that can have several dexterous manipulators, video cameras, mechanical tools and other equipment. They are generally free flying, but some are bottom-founded on tracks Towed bodies, such as those used to deploy side scan sonar, are not considered ROVs
