Subsea Commercial Services (SCS) has supplied a major international offshore contractor with a customised version of the Nemo X Data Relay Satellite Beacon, supporting fleet-wide ROV tracking and enhanced emergency recovery capability.
Following testing, the battery-powered Nemo X will be integrated into the Allseas new-build electric-propelled ROV fleet, providing satellite location and tracking and data relay capabilities across global offshore operations.
As part of the project, the beacon has been configured so that its high-visibility LED flasher automatically activates subsea in the event of power loss. This allows the ROV to be more easily located during recovery operations, reducing time spent searching and limiting disruption to ongoing subsea activity.
The modification was developed in response to specific operational and risk-management requirements, ensuring the system aligned with both surface tracking needs and subsea recovery scenarios. By combining satellite communication with automatic emergency activation, the solution supports improved asset visibility and more controlled response during unplanned events.
“This project focused on adapting an existing, proven system to suit a specific operational requirement,” said Callum Magee, Managing Director of Subsea Commercial Services. “Integrating automatic subsea activation into the Nemo X provides an additional layer of recovery support, particularly for electric ROV platforms operating in complex offshore environments.”
The Nemo X Data Relay Satellite Beacon forms part of SCS’s wider underwater technology portfolio and is deployed across subsea, offshore energy, and marine applications. Its modular design allows integration with ROVs, AUVs, and other subsea assets where tracking, location, and recovery visibility are operational priorities.
