Unique Cameras from Bowtech
The latest generation of Bowtech Products ultra low light and HD cameras reflects progress in designing products to meet real-world needs. The lack of available tubes for low light SIT cameras meant that an alternative or improved technology had to be found. Bowtech developed a next generation camera for ultra low light viewing; the Bowtech Explorer Extreme using Cooled BIT EMCCD technology. In the case of salvage companies one of the key driving forces in product improvement is to bring HD quality subsea video to the surface and beyond. Having manufactured one of the first HD cameras, Bowtech Products are now testing a unique and compact 1080i/720p

First Subsea, Offspring to Develop Deepwater Mooring Systems and Connectors
First Subsea and Offspring International announced plans to jointly develop the next generation of subsea mooring systems, designed specifically for deepwater projects. With offshore production moving to increasingly deeper waters, the ease and speed of mooring installation has become critical. Until now operators and installation contractors have relied on mooring technologies originally developed for shallower waters. As a result they are often faced with unnecessary and costly delays as the mooring systems fail to keep pace with the challenges posed by deepwater mooring environments. The First Subsea and Offspring International joint development is intended to produce mooring systems and connectors that are easier and simpler to install than current products. First Subsea supplies ball and taper-based Ballgrab mooring connectors and recently set a new depth record for its connectors on the Shell Perdido project at a depth of 8,637ft (2,632 m). Offspring International supplies mooring systems and is the worldwide agent for Quintas & Quintas, the offshore fibre rope division of Lankhorst Ropes and a leading manufacturer of deepwater polyester mooring tethers. Offspring International also collaborates closely with Sanmar Chain International Pte Ltd who supply offshore grade chain. The company provided the mooring chain and shackles for the Dominion Devils Tower Spar, at 5,600 ft. (1,707m) in the Mississippi Canyon of the Gulf of Mexico.
