Tortuga – Compact and Versatile 500m Offshore Inspection ROV

The TORTUGA integrates a propulsion configuration designed to ensure precise station-keeping, even in dynamic environments.

XP4 Version

• 4 horizontal thrusters (15 kg thrust each)

• 4 vertical thrusters

• Excellent station-keeping capability

• Optimized thrust-to-weight ratio

STD Version

• 4 horizontal thrusters

• 2 vertical thrusters

This architecture ensures:

• Optimal stability

• High maneuverability in confined spaces

• Precise control for close-range inspections

The XP4 version offers up to 30 kg payload capacity, allowing simultaneous integration of specialized sensors and tools.

The TORTUGA can integrate:

• 2D imaging and scanning sonars

• Profiling sonar

• USBL positioning

• DVL

• Side-scan sonar
