GEORGETOWN, Cayman Islands --A division of Subsea 7 Inc., i-Tech, has ordered newbuild ROVs rated to 2,000 m (6,562 ft) and upgradable to 3,000 m (9,842 ft) from SMD Hydrovision.

The Centurion Qx design is an evolution from Subsea 7's Centurioin work clas series and incorporates SMDH's distributed control and latest generation thrusters.

"We are particularly pleased that we have already secured long term work for a number of these second phase systems and have a large number of potential long term opportunities where the few remaining uncommitted systems will undoubtedly be deployed," said Neil Milne, i-Tech managing director.
