Deep Ocean Search Launches its New 6,000m Depth Rated ROV: Mariner XL

Deep Ocean Search, in partnership with Marine Operations London LTD, has introduced the Mariner XL, a highly capable work-class remotely operated vehicle (WROV) designed for ultra-deep operations. This advanced ROV can operate at depths of up to 6,000 meters and is available for hire, offering rapid deployment capabilities worldwide. The system includes a launch and recovery mechanism, an ultra-long range inertial and acoustic positioning system, a pilot station, and storage space, all efficiently packed into four 20-foot containers.

The Mariner XL is engineered for a variety of tasks, including inspection, sampling, object recovery, imaging, and data acquisition, making it a versatile tool for marine operations. Notably, its deployment does not necessitate significant structural modifications to the support vessel, nor does it require calibration, streamlining the operational process. This innovative solution aims to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in deep-sea exploration and recovery missions.
