Emergency Response

Project: Urgent inspection by ROV and divers.

Dive Works received a telephone call at approximately 11.30am on Thursday 10th June from a client that required an emergency inspection on a vessel located in Bass Strait, off the coast of Victoria.

This required Dive Works mobilising their diving and Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) operations within a matter of hours. 

A diving team was assembled and the Mobile Dive Station and crew were flown to Melbourne. Briefings were conducted and the team prepared to leave Melbourne via helicopter the next day, to reach the vessel. 

On Friday morning the crew boarded the helicopter and arrived on the vessel, at 10am. The vessel was sheltering from bad weather, off the coast of Wilson’s Promontory. By 4pm all of the pre-dive checks and documentation had been finalised and the diving inspection was being conducted. The inspection was successful and a full report was provided to the client, that day.

A second diving inspection was also conducted early Saturday morning.

Once work was complete, the vessel headed back out to its original point of call, to continue its own operations.

In the mean time, Dive Works personnel were mobilising the ROV to Eden (NSW), to be put on a second vessel, for a ship-to-ship transfer. This vessel departed by 6pm Saturday evening and was expected to arrive in its designated location by Sunday morning, to meet up with the first vessel for  the ship-to-ship transfer. However due to bad weather the transfer of the ROV didn’t occur until 5.30pm Sunday.

On Monday morning the Dive Works ROV team set up their spread and the ROV was launched through the moon pool for an inspection of a Disconnectable Turret Mooring (DTM). This was completed by 3pm and the ROV was transferred back to the second vessel and then back to Eden. All Dive Works personnel were flown off the original vessel, via helicopter, first thing Tuesday morning, together with the dive spread.

The Diving and ROV inspections were completed in record time with no incidents.
