also offers standard and customizable client training packages for repair and
maintenance of their products.
SEAMOR users count on the reliability and minimal maintenance required to
keep their ROV operational. One of the unique elements of SEAMOR ROV
ownership is a fully transferrable, 2 year warranty.

Technology Profile
SEAMOR ROV systems are designed with the end-user in mind. The
modular, open-frame layout allows for ease of access into the ‘guts’ of the
vehicle and aids in the integration of 3rd party tools and sensors. The result
is the ability to easily assemble a customized underwater system.
In addition to customer specified systems, the company currently offers 7
standard ROV SEAMOR versions; 3 with “twisted pair” tether, 3 with “fiberoptic” tether and 1 with combined “twisted pairs”/“fiber-optic” tether. The
300F-1080p-HD model incorporates a High Definition primary video camera.
All standard systems are depth rated to 1000ft/300m and feature 150w
thrusters (4 or 6 – model dependent),1800 tilting camera and lights, auto
depth, auto heading, and include a 19” monitor, intuitive control system,
tether cable, manual tether winch c/w slip-ring, spares and tool kit.

A recent addition to the company’s portfolio is the SEAMOR 7F-H-ARM, a 7
function, hydraulic, articulated, remotely operated manipulator. This exciting
new system has been specifically designed for Observation Class vehicles
and can be retrofitted to most similar ROV systems.
A wide range of proprietary and 3rd party options including: grippers, lights,
cameras, laser scalers, wireless control pendants, and sonar systems, are
available with SEAMOR systems.
The SEAMOR R&D team continues to focus on the advancement of subssea technologies through the development of new and innovative ROV
related systems and devices.

Testing Capabilities
Preliminary Electronics/Software Systems Testing:
Circuit boards and electrical components are bench tested using a variety of
test fixtures Tether assemblies are tested for continuity System
communications are verified using proprietary packet analysis software
Component Pressure Testing:
Selected components are pressure tested using an in-house 500 PSI
pressure chamber
6
In-House System Functions Testing:
Assembled systems are bench tested to confirm functionality
Assembled systems are “wet tested” in the 6000 gal., in-housetest tank,
fitted with a large viewing window to allow verification of system functions,
control characteristics and vehicle buoyancy, stability and trim.
In-Shore Sea Trials & Operator Training:
The company has permitted access to dock and power facilities, at a local
marine biology center, for the purpose of SEAMOR system testing, sea-trials
and initial operator training.
7
Off-Shore Sea Trials & Operator Training:
The company has an 18ft powerboat equipped with appropriate navigation
and safety equipment and is in close proximity to three artificial reefs:
The RivTow Lion – Sunk in 80ft of water in a protected area
The HMCS Saskatchewan – Sunk in 130ft of water in a moderately
protected area.
The HMCS Cape Breton – Sunk in 140ft of water near the HMCS
Saskatchewan
Deeper, open water to 2000ft depth is also located within 5 miles of the
