Tether Management Systems
Top-Hat and Garage type TMS for observation and work-class ROVs, rated to 3000m and 4000m, decoupling the ROV from surface vessel motion.
Description
A Tether Management System (TMS) stores and deploys the ROV tether so that the ROV is decoupled from the surface vessel's motion and can operate at a larger radius. FET offers Top-Hat and Garage type systems for electric observation-class and hydraulic work-class ROVs, with optional thrusters on some models for greater operating radius.
Key features
- Design focus on tether path geometry, tether load sensing and proportional speed control for reliability
- Garage TMS 1, 2 and 3 (observation ROV): rated to 3000 m, safe working loads of 2000 to 3500 kg
- Top-Hat Type IV, V and VI and Garage Type B and C (work-class ROV): rated to 4000 m, safe working loads from 11000 kg to 13500 kg
Applications
Deep-water ROV operations from offshore support, survey and construction vessels.
