This approach eliminates the need for dry-docking and minimizes operational disruption. Deployment directly from the deck removes the need for divers, ROVs, or dedicated support vessels, improving safety while reducing inspection cost and complexity. Following a comprehensive program of engineering development, testing, and industry engagement, including demonstrations with international naval stakeholders and a successful in-water inspection of an FPSO hull, ORCA is now available to the wider marine and offshore market.…
