Seaeye Marine, The Russian Navy is setting up a rapid response, air transportable rescue system which can be rushed to the assistance of stricken submariners.
The underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) that forms the main part of this package will come from British company Seaeye Marine who has been awarded the contract to supply its 0.5 tonne, state-of-the-art Panther Plus electric powered work class ROV system.
The need for a rapid response system follows lessons learnt from the recent rescue of the Pritz AS-2S mini submarine and her seven man crew by a Royal Navy ROV that was air lifted from the UK to the Russian Far East in August last year.
