Overview

The TORTUGA is a 500m offshore and industrial inspection ROV, developed for technical missions in constrained environments: port infrastructure, hydraulic structures, and complex inspections. Thanks to its high-precision azimuthal control, it delivers exceptional stability and maneuverability, with a maximum speed of 3 knots.

Key features

  • Inspection down to 500 m depth
  • Maximum speed of 3 knots
  • Azimuthal control architecture
  • Configurable multi-sensor platform

PERFORMANCE & PROPULSION

The TORTUGA features a thruster configuration enabling precise station-keeping, even in dynamic environments.

STD Version

  • 4 horizontal thrusters
  • 2 vertical thrusters

This architecture ensures:

  • Optimal stability
  • Maneuverability in confined spaces
  • Precise control during close-range inspection

Payload & integration

The TORTUGA can simultaneously integrate specialized sensors and tools:

  • 2D imaging and scanning sonars
  • Profiling sonar
  • USBL positioning
  • DVL
  • Side-scan sonar
  • Thickness measurement
  • 3D photogrammetry
  • 2- to 5-function manipulator
  • Cleaning tools
  • Laser measurement systems
  • Automatic navigation & waypoints

Each configuration is tailored to the mission: visual inspection, NDT, modeling, long-range inspection, or offshore monitoring.

Long-Range Inspection

The TORTUGA’s communication system was designed to reduce drag and maximize operational range.

Standard umbilical

  • 300 m neutrally buoyant
  • Reduced diameter of 9.5 mm
  • PLC communication

Fiber optic extension

  • Extended range beyond 500 m
  • Option up to 3000 m
  • Real-time video & data transmission

This system enables:

  • Reduced drag in current
  • Improved stability
  • Significant increase in inspection radius
