A major order has been placed by international ROV operations company Fugro with Saab Seaeye for a total of 15 ROV systems complete with TMS, launch and recovery equipment and control cabins where required. This will add substantially to Fugro's existing worldwide fleet of electric ROV resources and further confirm Fugro as the principle operator of electric ROV systems.

Included in the contract for phased delivery through 2008, are two Seaeye Jaguar systems for operation to 3,000 msw water depth and is the first order placed for this innovative new Saab Seaeye ROV which is the most powerful and advanced of its type in the world. The Jaguar electric Work Class ROV systems will complement the FCV 3000 electro-hydraulic Construction Work Class ROV systems designed, manufactured and operated by Fugro.
