FREIGHT and TRANSPORT

The Global Explorer ROV system is highly mobile.  Its 25,000-lb overall system weight and modular configuration make it readily transportable by air using the Boeing 737‑200 or similar aircraft. On the ground the system can be transported by rail or truck and over water by a Bell 412 or larger helicopter. This capability makes the system rapidly and cost efficiently transportable to virtually any location in the world.
