KML gets second Cougar ROV for tidal installations

Keynvor MorLift (KML) has acquired an additional Saab Seaeye’s Cougar XT ROV used for tidal energy projects.

The device comes with its own customized container system, and can be deployed from any vessel.

Keynvor MorLift uses Cougar ROVs for operational, installation and maintenance works at tidal energy projects with strong tidal currents.

In addition to work at tidal generation installations, KML’s Cougars are used for subsea tasks, such as general survey, light work duties, subsea installation, recoveries and salvage, along with the deployment and monitoring of specialist subsea research equipment.

Bobbie Stone, Business Manager at Keynvor MorLift, said: “Being able to work in a strong tidal flow extends our working window deep into the tidal ranges, and the Cougar has helped us achieve improved results, even when fitted with a tooling skid.”

Keynvor MorLift is a UK-based marine contractor with experience including renewable energy construction, project cargo, marine civil engineering and salvage operations.

Saab Seaeye is the manufacturer of electric ROVs, and tethered, autonomous and hybrid underwater vehicle systems for the defence industry.
