What is Bruce Lee’s favorite drink? Wataaaaah!


ROV in Germany - Suggestions?

0

Hello Homework,

While we are not SeaBotix' representative in Germany (though we are admittedly a rep for them), I would say the vLBV300 is a proven MiniROV system similar to the Predator. Try giving that a search or feel free to have me put you in contact with an appropriate person.

Ultimately, "turtle" is correct though; the specific application is the most important consideration. There are a lot of good products and accessories available today.

Happy to further assist if you have any questions. Danke.

Ladies!

This is an ROV employment discussion. The title is a clue!
So it's not a General topic and should not have been posted here in the General board.

Can we please try to post in the relevant boards created for such topics.

This thread will be moved to ROV Employment Discussion board shortly.

I'm talking about boats. Laundry sounds efficient, so from what you say I guess no need for more than 3x sets of clothes. 1x On shift, 1x In wash + 1x spare/transit...?

Silly question, do you get towels? Confused

Kindly advise the location of any such company workshops near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.

Why?


You made the statement "You can get all the above as a trainee at the company workshop and in your first trip offshore and be paid for the privilege of learning." So I'm asking who these companies are in order to help other people in my area avoid the hideous training school fees.

It won't be at anyones front door! Plus, I and probably most working offshore, feel a trainee should be useful to the industry from the get go and be prepared to travel to where the training/work is.

When I left the military (Royal Engineers) I lived in Brighton... I had to go to Aberdeen and knock on doors for weeks, living in B&B, to try and get a start. I came back with nothing the first trip. At the time I was a diver. It wasn't until the following year that I got a start.

As Cunuck1 suggests below... if you want to succeed in ROV you need to bring something to the industry. A Bricklayer (car salesman, HGV driver, et al. ) having completed an ROV course brings nothing, bar maybe enthusiasm,
The industry needs technically trained and experienced people not ROV wannabes that are not technically minded.

A technically trained and experienced electrical or hydraulic tech is far more likely to succeed IMHO. The bulk of the rest will generally be in for a huge disappointment and an empty bank account. If people are not selected by an ROV company based on their existing proven technical abilities and, on not being selected, feel that maybe an ROV course might be the way into the game instead, it will likely end in tears!


No problem with any of that, you just made it sound as if anybody could nip down the road to their local ROV company!

I agree with all of your points entirely.

Yes, you get towels and usually soap, as I said ships can vary from having to do your own laundry to someone doing it. Trackies etc for lounging about in offshift is normal.

Allow for socks and small items disappearing so maybe a couple extra of them Smile A lot of laundries have a box or bag with assorted leftover clothes!

Some kind of crocs or flipflops too although some places do not allow any footwear that does not have a strap or support over the back of heel due potential to trip hazards going up and down stairs etc.

When joining vessels you tend to walk on/off them so bag weight limit is not usually such a problem.

the use of slip rings on ROVs

Slip rings are required to transfer all power, electrical signal and fibre optic signals to/from the ROV.

The sliprings which go in the TMS need to work down to thousands of metres underwater and hence require to work whilst filled with compensation oil.

Voltages required are usually around 3000 volts at maybe 20 amps per phase for the power. Fibre optics nowadays tends to be all Single Mode.


The majority of sliprings used by ROVs are made by Focal (http://www.moog.com/products/slip-rings/)

Look at some of the ROV specific sliprings for better details of what is required.

Any extra course or qualification on your CV is going to look good, fact.


I can quote you a couple of ROV Ops Managers who would disagree with your "fact"


Ray, I agree. And I'm not going to dispute real experience.

So let me back-track (a little! Cool )

I was focussed on ROV courses, so instead of claiming facts, it is my opinion instead: that when applying for an ROV job, in general, having a decent ROV course on your CV would be an advantage.

I'll resign from this thread now, its too subjective to ever be concluded - although I've enjoyed the debate.

I'm looking forward to sharing my experience over the coming year as a trainee.

As you mentioned before it would be of assistance to other Trainees if new people to the industry such as yourself would keep updating how they are progressing, what they do when they first start, what things you wish you had known or done different etc. so that this can enable others to learn (or completely ignore, their choice!)

The internet s the only place where an argument can break out at the drop of a hat (or a sentence Very Happy)
