ABERDEEN, UK --Hallin Marine has ordered seven new ROVs from Saab Seaeye Marine for inspection, repair and maintenance duties.

The new vehicles, due to be delivered early in 2008, will comprise three Seaeye falcon systems, rated for 350 m (1,148 ft) water depth; two crane-based LARS Seaeye Lynx systems, for 1,000 m (3,280 ft) depth; and two A-frame deployed LARS Seaeye Lynx systems for 1,600 m (5,249 ft) water depth.

Hydromex in Great Yarnouth, UK, will supply the launch and recovery systems, with Hallin Marine Engineering building the containerized control desks in Singapore. Hallin currently operates a fleet of six work class ROVS, designed more for subsea construction.
