Frequently Asked Questions

Argus has developed and delivered multiple ultra-deep water ROV systems, including nine rated to 6000 meters and one rated to 7000 meters. These vehicles are engineered for extreme pressure, low temperatures, and long-duration reliability. Applications include scientific research, seabed minerals exploration, cargo recovery, and subsea inspections, all supported by robust design, modularity, and efficient power management.

ur electric ROV solutions are designed for IMR and intervention tasks across platforms, pipelines, and subsea installations. With integrated survey multiplexers, interfaces for standard sensors, and seamless control through the Poseidon GUI, Argus ROVs deliver precision and reliability in demanding offshore environments. The Worker series, from Ultra Compact to XL, covers a wide range of offshore applications.

Yes. Argus ROVs integrate with USVs to enable safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly offshore operations. Operating from USVs reduces CO₂ emissions, eliminates onboard HSE risks, and lowers costs by reducing crew requirements. Argus delivered the work class ROV system for DeepOcean’s USV Challenger, demonstrating reliable remote control and autonomy for fully unmanned operations.

Our systems support cable laying, foundation inspections, and environmental monitoring for offshore wind and other renewable projects. The Worker Ultra Compact is optimized for shallow water touchdown monitoring, equipped with manipulators, and enhanced by our latest control features such as automated distance-keeping between vessel and ROV.

Argus delivers high-speed electric ROVs for precision deployment and recovery of seismic OBNs. Built for accuracy and payload capacity, our Worker XL with additional stern thrusters delivers over 1500 kg bollard pull, ensuring efficient placement and retrieval even in challenging seabed conditions.

es. Argus has supplied over 40 electric ROVs to aquaculture, including Inspector and Mariner systems. These vehicles are used for net inspections, fish health monitoring, environmental surveys, and anchoring operations with drill skids. The Inspector is valued for stable video documentation, while the Mariner with drill skid ensures precise anchoring in diverse seabed conditions.

Argus delivers compact, modular ROVs rated to 7000 meters, ideal for exploration and inspection missions on yachts. With optional 8K cameras for cinematic documentation, these systems support wreck surveys, environmental monitoring, and scientific collaborations. Designed with minimal onboard infrastructure needs, they fit seamlessly into expedition and philanthropy-driven exploration programs.

Argus ROVs support global research with ultra-deep water capability, precise maneuvering, and science-grade imaging. They integrate with vessel workflows and modular payloads for CTD sampling, biodiversity studies, geochemical surveys, and high-resolution mapping. Proven worldwide, our systems are used by universities, institutes, and philanthropic expeditions for advanced oceanographic research.

Over The Horizon (OTH) enables remote ROV operations from shore, moving crews onshore and integrating with unmanned surface vessels. This functionality enhances safety, reduces costs, and expands the flexibility of offshore and ultra-deep water missions.

Argus has over 30 years of experience in modular electric ROV systems. We have delivered more than 164 complete systems, including 22 work class ROVs and 10 ultra-deep water ROVs rated to 6000–7000 meters. Our track record spans offshore energy, renewables, aquaculture, research, and private exploration.

Argus serves a broad range of industries including offshore oil & gas, renewable energy, aquaculture, scientific research, seismic operations, yacht expeditions, and deep-sea mining. Our modular, customizable systems adapt to diverse operational needs while maintaining high reliability.
