Optimised for high speed, high current operations

Making survey easier for our customers

SMD have developed Flo, a survey and inspection ROV optimised for high speed survey and high current operations.

SMD understand the challenges operators face when conducting ROV survey, inspection and maintenance work. These challenges are often in relation to reduced operating windows, high currents and the time it takes to do a task. All have the potential to add cost and risk to a project.

Reducing survey times and increasing the operational window

FLO is a high-speed work class ROV based on proven SMD ROV fleet technology, to perform tasks faster and more efficiently. This system has a top speed of 6 Knots and the ability to hold position in currents up to 4 Knots from any direction. FLO also boasts 50% faster survey times compared to conventional work class ROVs and is capable of significantly extending the operational window in areas where high currents are prevalent.

FLO can be operated in free swimming mode for shallow water and can interface with an SMD TMS for operations in deeper water.
