Dr Shea Cameron, Huon’s Subsea and Remote Systems Manager, says the Saab Seaeye model is invaluable to the company’s farming operations:

“Our dive and mooring teams use Falcons to inspect and maintain our critical subsea farm infrastructure.”

He says their Falcons spend more time in the water than any of the others in Huon’s large fleet of remotely operated vehicles that range from large specialist net cleaning vehicles to smaller eyeball class systems.

The world’s top selling robot the Falcon’s global success comes from being an easy to use, intelligent, powerful, highly manoeuvrable robot with a reliability record covering over a million hours underwater.

Dr Cameron adds that the Saab Seaeye Falcons have consistently proven to be a tough and capable platform, easy to service and with excellent manufacturer support.

“They can be rebuilt and repaired quickly and sent back out to work – making Huon a proud Saab Seaeye Operator!” Dr Cameron says.
