Sonsub Inc. has signed a three year
charter agreement with Harvey Gulf International Marine Inc. for a new build, 252-ft. ROV support vessel to work in the Gulf of Mexico.

A 12’ X 12’ moon pool, 9,000sqft of clear deck space, and berthing for 46 personnel has also been incorporated into the design to maximize the effectiveness of the spread for tasks such as surveys, geophysical sampling, inspections and touch down monitoring.
