In connection with our jetting and suction systems we have developed a ROV unit specially designed for the embedding of submarine cables and other tasks in deep waters.

The SUB-JET ONE employs rubber caterpillar tracks, and is fitted with a hydraulic crane to remove e.g. large rocks. In accordance with the prevailing bottom conditions, the SUB-JET ONE is fitted with the appropriate jetting or suction systems. Where there is an exceptionally soft seabed two large Archimedean screws replace the caterpillar tracks.

The SUB-JET ONE is automated but breaks off if the cable is not at the right depth, if there is an obstruction or if the cable makes more than a 15 degrees bend. A pilot on the surface is permanently on surveillance and can manually take over at all times. As standard, the unit is fitted with several cameras and positioning equipment, which enables the pilot to know the exact location of the unit, cable and other vessels. If requested the unit can be additionally fitted with various tools and measuring equipment.

The SUB-JET ONE is normally launched from the offshore vessel Cable One, but it is a mobile system that can be launched in all places.
