ROV's
Shark Marine's ROVs are versatile, durable and well suited for a wide range of applications.
Barracuda
Designed for speed and power, the Barracuda is very capable in high current applications. Constructed using high-tech plastics, anodized aluminum and syntactic foam, it is small and maneuverable. It is also large enough to support the easy addition of mission specific accessories (e.g. sonar and video systems). All accessories fit inside the frame to avoid entanglement issues. The built in Total Navigation System, and DiveLog software, give the it full geodetic positioning and autonomous capabilities.

Options
Forward Looking Sonar
Shark Marine’s ROVs can be equipped with various Forward Looking Sonars such as the Blueview P and M series in 450, 900 and 2250 kHz frequencies for ranges up to 300 meters. These sonars allow ROV operators to see in zero visibility as well as take accurate measurements.
Tether Management / LARS
Shark Marine manufactures various tether management systems for use with their ROVs. These systems can be powered or manually operated, and can be equipped with level wind systems and cable encoders.
Shark Marine has also produced larger launch and recovery systems that can also be based on a standard iso shipping platform.
Manipulator Arms
Shark Marine’s ROVs can be equipped with a wide variety manipulator arms such as:
-
Single Function Electric (Jaw Only)
-
Dual Function Electric (Wrist and Jaw)
-
Recovery Hook
Recovery Hooks are designed to be attached to an object and released from the rov, allowing the object to be pulled to the surface using a line. The recovery hook can also be used to attach a float or marker to an object.
Scaling Laser
Scaling Lasers can be attached to Shark Marine’s ROVs at a known, fixed distance to give operators a sense of an objects size when viewing it through the ROVs cameras.
Total Navigation System
Shark Marine’s Total Navigation Systems uses GPS, Doppler Navigation systems, and optionally Long Base Line Systems to provide their ROV’s with full Geodetic positioning. This allows Our ROVs to operate in autonomous modes, map their sonar and video coverage and mark target positions accurately.
Pro-Stick Navigation
The Pro-Stick is a higher precision controller for Shark Marines ROVs. The Pro-Stick also has enough buttons / switches to manage the ROVs accessories and autonomous functions.
Transformer
Shark Marine’s ROVs are designed to operate off of 220/240 50/60Hz. Transformers are available in the event a customer requires operation off of a 120 VAC supply.
Metal thickness Gauge
Shark Marine’s ROVs can be equipped with Metal Thickness Gauges, typically those manufactured by Cygnus. These Gauges can be held in the ROVs manipulator or mounted to the ROVs frame.
NAV-RAD
The Shark Marine Radiation Detector is a plug and play unit designed to detect Gamma radiation underwater.
Sea Wolf 5
The Sea-Wolf V ROV was built with power and modularity in mind. Different jobs call for different equipment, and the Sea-Wolf V was built with this idea in mind. Variable payload capacity makes adding or removing any of the Sea-Wolf’s extensive array of optional peripherals quick and easy. The ROV’s piloting software, DiveLog, provides manual operation, assisted operation through auto-depth altitude, heading, or speed control, or point-and-click autonomous operation. The Sea-Wolf V also accommodates 2 extra thrusters, providing more power for more accurate control in inclement conditions.

Scanning Sonar
Scanning sonar provides ROV pilots with a 360° view of their surroundings. These Sonars take time to complete a full scan so are best used when stationary. Scanning Sonar can also be used to gather very accurate measurements or profiles of pipelines.
Video Systems
The Sea Wolf has many video options including; high-resolution, low-light, and extremely low-light video cameras click here for details.
There are also many customizable options including extremely high resolution still cameras.

Sediment Sampler
Shark Marine has produced several samplers for our ROVs, these include a scoop type sampler built into our standard manipulator arms, and a pneumatic sampling system that pushes sampling tubes into the bottom and retrieves them, this sampler also uses a rotating carousel to carry 3 larger sampling tubes or, 3 sets of 3 combined small sampling tubes.
Recovery Reel
The Recovery Reel can be used along with the Recovery Hook Option. The Recovery Reel allows the line to be carried with the ROV until it is deployed reducing the risk of entanglement.
