Seaport / Port Security and Surveillance : Ship Inspections : Pipeline Inspections : Oil Rig Surveillance and Inspections : Docking Perimeter Inspections and Detections : Barge Inspections : Docked Cruise Ship Inspections : Tanker Security and Inspections -ROVs were initially produced for military applications, and the continued development was primarily due to growth in offshore oil and gas exploration. During the mid 1980’s the marine ROV industry suffered from serious stagnation in technological development caused in part by a drop in the price of oil and a global economic recession. Since then, technology development in the ROV industry has accelerated. Now a variety of new mark
