这些系统是在 FET 位于北约克郡 Kirkbymoorside 的英国工厂制造的，将部署在 OceanPact 的两艘船上，以支持国有石油公司 (Petrobras) 油田的检查、维修和维护服务。

额定深度为 3000 米的紧凑型 200HP XLX-C 以较小的外形提供了工作级车辆的高性能。这些车辆受益于令人印象深刻的高流量辅助液压回路以及高有效负载能力，可携带额外的工具和传感器。

每辆 XLX-C 均配有下悬式工具撬，用于额外的工具和选件装配，补充了车辆的高性能。还提供了全面的补充工具包，包括扭矩工具、验证装置和流体注射系统。

ROV 配备了主动升沉补偿 Dynacon 发射和回收系统 (LARS)，以及相关的表面电源和控制装置。

作为范围的一部分，FET 还提供了配置有完整 XLX-C 控制台的 VMAX ROV 模拟器。该模拟器提供了一系列训练练习或“场景”，每个训练练习或“场景”都旨在训练和评估飞行员的各种技能能力，例如系绳管理、机械手控制和工具操作。

VMAX 还可以提供用于培训和工程分析目的的定制场景构建。事实证明，使用 VMAX 作为预操作或预制造工具是验证设备设计、降低操作风险并最终节省时间和金钱的有效方法。

FET 商务经理 Simone Pizzolato 表示：“随着我们的客户意识到其在更紧凑的外形中增强性能的好处，我们将继续看到对我们最新一代 XLX-C 车辆的高需求。该公司在向市场生产技术最先进的车辆方面拥有无与伦比的历史，我们很高兴被 OceanPact 选择在其扩大海底业务的关键时刻交付他们的第一批工作级 ROV 船队。” �

The systems, which were manufactured at FET’s UK facility at Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, will be deployed across two of OceanPact’s vessels to support inspection, repair and maintenance services for the state-owned oil company’s oilfields (Petrobras).

The 3000 m depth rated compact 200HP XLX-C delivers the high performance of a work-class vehicle in a smaller form. The vehicles benefit from an impressive high flow auxiliary hydraulic circuit combined with a high payload capacity to carry additional tools and sensors.

Each XLX-C was supplied with an underslung tooling skid for additional tooling and options fitment, complementing the vehicles high performance. A comprehensive supplementary tooling package including torque tools, verification units and fluid injection systems was also provided.

The ROVs were supplied with active heave compensated Dynacon launch and recovery systems (LARS), as well as associated surface power and control installations.

As part of the scope, FET has also supplied a VMAX ROV Simulator configured with a complete XLX-C Console. The simulator is provided with a host of training exercises or ‘scenarios’, each designed to train and evaluate pilot competence in a variety of skills such as tether management, manipulator control and operation of tooling.

VMAX can also offer bespoke scenario builds for training and engineering analysis purposes. Using VMAX as a pre-operation or pre-fabrication tool has proven to be a valuable way to verify equipment design, de-risk operations and ultimately save time and money.

Simone Pizzolato, FET’s commercial manager, said: “We continue to see a high demand for our latest generation of XLX-C vehicles as our customers realise the benefits of its enhanced performance within a more compact form. The business has an unrivalled history of producing the most technologically advanced vehicles to the market and we’re pleased to have been chosen by OceanPact to deliver their first work-class ROV fleet at such a pivotal time as it expands its subsea operations.”
