Seaeye Tiger
The Industry Benchmark Inspection and Observation Vehicle
Widely regarded as the leading observation and inspection vehicle within the oil and gas industry, the Tiger is also
increasingly chosen by defence and marine science seeking increased capability in deep water.
The Tiger is a very stable platform, with excellent manoeuvrability and performance in strong currents. Its open frame
construction and generous payload offer the possibility of adding a wide range of tools and sensors as well as
interchangeable tool skids.
The Tiger is available as a free-swimming vehicle down to depths of 450m. For greater depths down to 800m, a
Tether Management System (TMS) is available.
Powerful Reliable Flexible
Five thrusters provide a stable platform Internationally regarded as the Engineered design options to
for observation, inspection and diver industry standard observation and deliver results even for the most
support. inspection vehicle. challenging of projects.

System Overview
• Surface Power Supply Unit and Surface
Control Unit supplied as free standing units or
fitted inside an air conditioned control
container.
• Surface Equipment includes Hand Control
Unit, keyboard and two colour monitors.
Additional hand control units are included with
ROVs fitted with a manipulator system.
• Cabin Junction Box for connections between
the surface and subsea.
• Fibre Optic MUX with Video, Serial Data and
Ethernet interfaces.
• Available as a free-swimming ROV or in
conjunction with a Type 8 Tether Management
System (TMS) for depths up to 800m.
• ROV rated to 800m fitted with four horizontal
thrusters and one vertical thrusters supplied
with 250 Volts DC. The ROV pod provides
interfaces for Thrusters, LED lights, multiple
cameras, a depth sensor and a solid state
compass, supporting vehicle auto heading and
auto depth. Auto altitude is available as an
option when an altimeter is fitted.
• Deployment options include an electric winch
for free swimming ROV or an A Frame Launch
and Recovery System (LARS) for ROVs
equipped with a TMS.
