Company Overview: Saab Seaeye
Saab Seaeye Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Saab Underwater Systems AB. The company was formed in 1986 by Ian and Janet Blamire to specialise in the manufacture of electrically powered Remotely Operated Vehicles, ROVs, for the offshore oil and gas industry.
Since then Seaeye has led the way in many breakthrough ROV innovations, in particular:
Brushless DC motor technology for ROV thrusters
Polypropylene ROV chassis
Carbon fibre electronics pods (on Panther Plus)
Distributed intelligence and modular ROV control systems
New power distribution concept for deep water applications
Saab Seaeye has delivered over 800 vehicles to date and has become the benchmark by which all electric powered ROVs are compared today.
Saab Seaeye has recently expanded its production capacity by 50% with the opening of a new 24,000 sq ft factory in Fareham, Hampshire, UK.
The factory at Fareham, Hampshire, is just over an hour by road from London's two international airports, Heathrow and Gatwick and between the south coast ports of Portsmouth and Southampton for easy ferry access to the continent.
