Forum awarded Subsea 7 contract

Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. has announced that it received an order from Subsea 7 SA to supply eight work-class remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems. The ROVs will be delivered through late 2014 and 2014.

The order comprises two PerryTM XLX Evo 200 HP ROVs for Subsea 7's new-build heavy construction vessel and six Perry XLX-C 150 HP ROVs for three new-build pipelay support vessels for the Brazilian market.

The Perry XLX Evo heavy work-class and XLX-C medium work-class ROVs are the latest generation of the Perry XL series. The XLX-C features enhanced performance across the full range of intervention and survey activities without compromising the reliability of the XL series.

"Forum is pleased with its association with Subsea 7, a premier subsea contractor," said Bill Boyle, Forum Subsea Technologies' Senior Vice President.

"The choice of Perry vehicles for the operationally demanding Brazilian market represents a vote of confidence in the reliability of the XLX-C system and supports Forum Subsea's strategy of providing first class engineering, and after-market support and service to Subsea 7 and our other Brazilian customers from our facilities in Rio de Janeiro and Rio das Ostras."
