Here comes the ROV…

  • 19 July 2021
  • Back

This morning heralded the arrival of the last big piece of equipment for this expedition: the ROV Luso. Supplied and operated by the expert team at EMEPC, the Luso will be in action on both legs of the expedition.

 

Award-winning photographer Nuno Vasco Rodrigues used a drone to capture these photos of the ROV arriving at the dockside in Vigo and being winched aboard the RV Sarmiento de Gamboa. Both images Image © Nuno Vasco Rodrigues / CSIC / iMirabilis2

In this close-up you can see the major pieces of equipment on the back deck: the ROV (circled in pink) being lowered into the empty spot right at the back; the benthic lander (green) and Autosub and the LARS (blue). Image © Nuno Vasco Rodrigues / CSIC / iMirabilis2
And finally, everything is in place - including the big blue container on the left, which is the all-important ROV control room. Image © Andreia Afonso / EMEPC / iMirabilis2
