Remote Systems & ROV Division Profile
IMCA Remote Systems & ROV Division focuses on all aspects of equipment, personnel and operations relating to remotely operated systems used in support of marine activities.
As marine operations move into ever greater water depths and harsh environments around the globe, ROVs grow further in importance and utilisation and the advance of such technology continues all the time. This has been reflected in the phenomenal growth of the division in recent years.
Through development of codes of practice and guidance, provision of briefing and organisation of seminars and other events, IMCA helps its members stay up-to-date with developments, shares safety-related information and represents the sector to a variety of third parties.
