SEAMOR Marine Chinook family
Chinook is a modular ROV for underwater inspection.
Chinook is a modular ROV for underwater inspection. The manufacturer describes editions with different thruster configurations and a tilting colour camera. Its surface operating set includes a display and video recording. A manipulator, sonar and other instruments can be selected for the task. Standard-depth and deeper-rated editions belong to the same family. Comparison should establish which instruments are fitted and how the tether is managed. Listed mass refers to a six-thruster edition trimmed for fresh water. Speed is not treated as a fixed project outcome because the manufacturer identifies environment and configuration as influences.
