2 STANDARD GUIDELINES
2.1 GENERAL (ROV OPERATIONS)
The ROVs are only to be operated by competent/trained personnel from DeepTech or by personnel that
are under direct supervision of DeepTech personnel.
The decision whether the condition for launch, recovery and operation is suitable is the sole responsibility of
DeepTechs onboard Superintendent / Supervisors. Reference is made to Section 3.5, for further instructions
on the safety parameters for the equipment in use under this contract.
The Worksite Superintendent / Supervisors is the DeepTech Representative on location and as such, has to
ensure that they and the crew conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times.
The DeepTech Worksite Superintendent / Supervisors onboard the offshore installation is also the on-site
representative communicating directly with the clients representative and other relevant personnel associated
with the project.
If necessary, meetings will be held onboard the offshore installation with the following personnel
in attendance:
The Client Superintendent/Representative

The Vessels Master (if required)
The Client Project Manager
The DeepTech Superintendent/Supervisor
The Diving Superintendent (if applicable)
When the ROV system is operating offshore then, for safety/insurance purposes a minimum of 3 (three)
DeepTech personnel must be assigned to the system.
The ROV Worksite Superintendent / Supervisors is responsible to the Client for producing the results
required in accordance with inspection guidelines, work orders, specifications, issued by the Client.
During launch and recovery on board the vessel all ROV activities are reported directly to the bridge. The
communication between ROV control and ROV winch operator shall be on an open line.
During all the operations, the ROV Control Container must be in direct contact with the Vessel Bridge or
Platform Control Room
2.2 SAFETY FOR OFFSHORE ROV OPERATIONS
The DeepTech Health, Safety and Environmental Management System is issued as part of the IMS
documentation on all ROV systems. All DeepTech Offshore Personnel comply with the standard medical
and Offshore Survival training specified by UKOOA and Medical requirements.
The Superintendent/Supervisor is to ensure that all members of the crew are conversant with and follow the
Health, Safety and Environmental Manual and Safety Procedures and any further project specific safety
requirements relevant to the particular worksite. All Clients safety procedures controlled and monitored by
their Representative are to be strictly adhered to. A Bridging Document or Project Quality Plan may be
issued linking both Clients and DeepTechs Safety Management Systems.
On arrival at a worksite, be it a platform, barge or vessel, the ROV crew are to immediately report to the
Offshore Safety Officer to be briefed on all safety aspects particular to that worksite. After the briefing
ROV Superintendent/Supervisor should make an HSE Safety Observation and reported to Operation
Manager and QHSE using Safety Observation checklist (Form No. HSE-P13-F01) for the work site and
accommodation then the crew should change into appropriate safety clothing and carry out a survey of their

Folder .

surrounds with safety in mind. It is the Superintendent's/Supervisor's responsibility to make sure that the
entire crew attend to the safety walk. Special attention shall be made to:
Emergency exits
Location of the lifeboats, rafts, deck life jackets
Safety equipment
Any potential hazards
Warning signs & alarms
Evacuation notice
Emergency instructions
First aid kits, first aiders notice
Fire extinguishers
Cranes, a Frame movements & Load Lines
All offshore installations must carry out safety muster drills on a regular basis. If this is not being done, the
Superintendent/Supervisor is to raise the matter with the Offshore Safety Officer and/or Client Representative
requesting that such drills be carried out. Primarily, safety is a personal responsibility, dont forget that
responsibility. All personnel have a duty of care to themselves and their fellow work mates ensuring safety is
observed by all.
All DeepTech personnel will be issued with two pairs of coveralls, one pair of protective footwear, one hard-
hat and one pair of safety glasses per annum. These are to be worn at all times along with any further
safety attire dictated by the worksite. Personnel Protective Equipment will be replaced by the Company on a
fair wear and tear basis. (See also PPEs procedure HSE-P14)
All injuries sustained by DeepTech personnel are to be recorded in the Daily Progress Report QMS-P01-F07
An HSE-P07-F02 _Incident Report (See also procedure HSE-P07) is to be completed and the injury reported
to the medical officer at the worksite. A copy of the Accident/Incident investigation report is to be forwarded to
the Project Manager as soon as possible on the day of the accident.
Any issues that arise that may affect the safety of equipment or personnel are to be addressed immediately.
In this instance, an (HSE-P07-F02 _Incident Report) is to be completed. For further details refer to procedure
HSE-P07(Incident reporting and investigation). The intent is to reduce the exposure of our personnel to
hazardous work conditions. This is done most effectively by the personnel on-site. On completion, the form is
to be returned to the DeepTech office where if necessary further action will be taken. Safety meetings are to
take place at least once every 2 weeks and a minutes of meeting report form (IMS-P06-F02_ minutes of
meeting) forwarded to the Project Manager (see procedure IMS-P06_Management Review)

3 ROV OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
3.1 GENERAL

At no time is the system to be operated in conditions that are likely to endanger personnel or the
system. If however a Client instructs a Supervisor to dive the ROV or perform tasks that the
Supervisor considers will endanger the equipment only, a Client Authorization Form (QMS-P01-
F24) is to be signed by the Client before the tasks can be carried out. This form must be signed
by the Clients Senior offshore Management, and notification given to the Project Manager.
It is mandatory under company policy that all ROVs are to be fitted with remote location devices or
tracking systems when in use offshore, all ROV systems must be fitted with a Flasher and RF beacon.
The functions of these items are to be part of the Pre / Post Dive Checklist QMS-P01-F07
Note: For further details and guidelines refer to the various IMCA (AODC) documents reference in section 7.
3.2 PERSONNEL
The Superintendent/Supervisor is responsible for the Technicians assigned to them on a particular contract.
The Superintendent/Supervisor is to ensure the Technicians;
a) Conform to all company and worksite safety and procedural requirements

b) Carry out preventative maintenance to the ROV system
c) Carry out breakdown maintenance to the ROV system
d) Conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times
e) Participate in Risk Assessments
The job descriptions for the crew members are detailed in the Project Quality Plan. (QMS-P01-F01)
3.3 PERSONNEL ARRIVING AT WORKSITE
Following the arrival of DeepTech personnel at the worksite the Worksite Supervisor will review the shift
allocation and will confirm shift schedule and start times. The shift start times will be decided following a
review of the individuals hours worked during the previous 24-hour period and any other circumstances that
may affect the individual. On arrival at the worksite it is the responsibility of the individual to assist the
Worksite Supervisor by informing them of any relevant information that could affect the shift allocation or start
times. If required after a full assessment the shift start may be staggered to allow oncoming crew a rest
period.
3.3.1 HANDOVER
3.3.1.1 SHIFT HANDOVER (DAILY) QMS-P01-F10
On the completion of a 12-hour shift the Superintendent/Supervisor/Shift Supervisor on duty shall officially
hand over the operations to the next supervisor. The handover will consist of a summary of the shift events,
work status, concerns etc. to allow continuous operation at shift change. Using Shift Handover (Form No.
QMS-P01-F10)

Issue-Revision: 1-3
Page No.: 9/35
3.3.1.2 END OF TRIP REPORT FORM NO (QMS-P01-F18)
At the completion of his offshore duty period, the Superintendent/ Supervisor is to write a detailed handover for
the oncoming Supervisor using End of Trip Report Form No (QMS-P01-F18). This handover is to include, but
not be limited to the following:
System status
Faults encountered
Concerns
Operational
Client
Equipment
Defective equipment
Outstanding stores orders/inventory levels
3.4 CLIENT LIAISON
It is the Superintendent's/Supervisors responsibility to establish good open communications with the Client
and/or their Representative Onsite. The technicians are to be instructed to direct the Client to the Supervisor if
approached with operational or system enquiries.
Prior to a Superintendent/Supervisor going to a job for the first time, they will be provided with a copy of the
contract by the Project Manager in addition to any other project specific documentation. The Supervisor is to
familiarize them self with DeepTechs obligations and the work or performance expected by the Client.
The relationship between the Client and DeepTech at the worksite is very important and should be dealt with in
a professional manner. Open conflict should not occur. If a Client has unrealistic expectations of the ROV or
its Operators, it is the Superintendent's/Supervisors responsibility to take the time to inform the Client of
the intricacies of ROV operations.
It must always be remembered that we are a service company and our primary task is to provide the services
to the Client in a professional and efficient manner. Your relationship with the Client can have a direct impact
on our success in this respect.
3.5 ROV OPERATIONS
The pre-deployment checks are to be carried out prior to all dives. All system functions and ancillary
equipment fitted are to be checked operational and the Pre / Post Dive Checklist QMS-P01-F07 completed.
On completion of each dive, any faults, which would restrict continued operational efficiency, are to be rectified
immediately.
The ROV is then to be function tested, in accordance with the post-deployment checks, compensators topped
up, and the system generally prepared for the next operation.
3.5.1 R.O.V. DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE
The pre-deployment checks are to be carried out prior to the first dive of each day. All system functions and
ancillary equipment fitted are to be checked operational.
Prior to ROV launch, the DeepTech Supervisor will inform Client Representative and the bridge of the intention
to launch the vehicle and clearly indicate the proposed area of work, and possible duration and extent of

Folder .
Issue-Revision: 1-3
Page No.: 10/35
activities. The DeepTech Supervisor must give every consideration to the location of subsea rigging, flow
line layouts, etc., to ensure that ROV entanglement does not occur.
The DeepTech Supervisor must ensure that the clients representative is fully aware of the planned operations
for the shift, and must also be aware of any planned supply boat or technical operations that may interfere or
curtail the scope of work.
Should there be additional Diving Operations onboard then the Diving Supervisor must also be advised of all
ROV activities:
1. Carry out pre-dive checks to confirm all systems and equipment operating correctly.
2. With vehicle instrumentation and gyro switched on, leave gyro to run up to speed - minimum 15
minutes. Confirm intercom between stations operating correctly.
3. Inform bridge/control room of intention to deploy R.O.V. Confirm vessel in correct position and
D.P./Positioning system functioning correctly. Ensure all required work permits are valid. When
launching near thrusters, ensure that bridge/DP operator are advised in advance of intent to dive. If
possible get thrusters in vicinity of launch position switched off.
4. The Supervisor to ensure the current weather conditions are within the safety parameters before
proceeding to step 5.5. Using a crew of three - the following positions are manned. Under no ordinary
circumstances are non- ROV crew to operate deployment equipment.
1 - Pilot - Control Van

1 - Winch Operator - L.A.R.S.
1 - Supervisor - Deck.
The Supervisor to confirm all personnel clear of vehicle and vehicle clear to move outboard. Hardwire
communications will be maintained at all times concerning personnel involved with launch and
recovery operations.
6. With the R.O.V. and T.M.S. positioned outboard, Supervisor will monitor the deployment until the
system has gone through the splash zone and well clear of the vessel hull. The Supervisor will then
assist the ROV Pilot, in the Control Van.
Pilot and Observer to confirm all systems functioning correctly and prepare for maneuvering the ROV
to the work site, note that this should be done during deployment of the ROV to working depth. The
ROV hydraulic power pack should be switched on as soon as the system is submerged, the pilot
should initially closely monitor the startu p current and all system Ground fault detection systems.
When relevant, the ROV should be aligned with vessel heading to verify ROV gyro reading.
7. Pilot to inform the winch operator when T.M.S. and R.O.V are at the required depth, note the pilot
should constantly inform the Winch operator of the ROV depth during deployment. For seabed work
the T.M.S. is usually left 25-30 meters above seabed.
If the ROV is being deployed in the same location for some time then it is standard practice to mark the main
lift umbilical with some paint to identify the normal working depth of the ROV.
Unlatching from the TMS
This is a general guideline for unlatching from the Perry W ork class TMS and may vary slightly from system to
system.
1. Pan camera to view TMS.

2. Depress the tether in switch for a few seconds.
3. Open the main TMS latches
4. Tether out for a few seconds then thrust down and clear the ROV from the TMS, the action of
tethering out for a few seconds before thrusting down is to enable the Fail safe latches to open.

Folder .
Issue-Revision: 1-3
Page No.: 11/35
3.5.2 R.O.V. RECOVERY PROCEDURE
In order to return to the TMS safely the Pilot should generally turn the vehicle towards the tether and follow the
tether back while tethering in. This ensures that the tether is not put under too much tension.
When within visual contact of the TMS, pass under the TMS and slightly past until the docking camera is in
view of the TMS. At this point put the vehicle joystick into reverse mode, monitor the movement of the TMS in
the swell and pick a suitable stable time to tether in and latch to the TMS. It is generally good practice to select
some down thrust when doing this to compensate for any movement of the TMS. Once the ROV is docked
into the TMS secure the ROV by closing the main latches.
If there is a large swell running making it difficult to get back into the TMS it can sometimes be made easier by
recovering the TMS slowly when the ROV is close to docking.
Once the ROV is latched into the TMS this should be checked by the LED indications on the console and also
by momentarily tethering out and thrusting down. If the ROV is not properly latched and is sitting on the Fail
safe latches then by doing this the ROV will unlatch from the TMS.
Once the ROV is confirmed as being safely latched then the system can be recovered to deck. All
manipulators should be safely stored at this point .The pilot is to monitor the ROV and TMS during recovery,
all lights and pumps should be switched off prior to coming through the splash zone.
During recovery the pilot should keep the winch operator informed of the vehicle depth and when the vehicle
breaks through the splash zone
The ROV pilot should only leave the controls once the system is safely latched into the LARS. The winch
operator should confirm latching of the TMS.
At no time must the vehicle be separated from the TMS, with less than two operators in the control station.
The three persons involved in normal construction and inspection operations would be assigned the following
tasks:
1 ROV Supervisor
1 Pilot/Manipulator Operator
1 Observer/Manipulator Operator
3.5.3 SAFETY PARAMETERS FOR CLASS/EYEBALL ROV'S
DeepTech Superintendent / Supervisors shall be fully conversant with and understand all the warranties
and conditions of DeepTechs insurance policy prior to mobilizing a system for offshore operations. The
safety of the Companys equipment relies on the Supervisors experience and good judgment in operational
procedures and a sound background in seamanship.
When there is any question as to the safety of an operation due to bad weather, dangerous situations or
environmental hazards which are outside the terms of our contract and will expose the equipment to loss or
damage, the Supervisor has the authority to terminate operations. It is clearly understood by all parties that the
Onsite Superintendent / Supervisors has the sole responsibility of making the safety decisions and that they
will receive the full support of the Company management.
The following is a list of warranties for DeepTech ROVs:
1. DeepTech equipment is to be operated only by employees or individuals under direct contract to

DeepTech.
2. The decision whether the conditions for operations are suitable is the sole responsibility of the
Offshore Superintendent/Supervisor. This decision will be based on:
Sea state
Vessel characteristics

Folder .
Issue-Revision: 1-3
Page No.: 12/35
Operational experience of vessel crew

Deterioration factor of weather conditions
Current
3. Prior approval from the insurance company will be required to operate the vehicle on or in direct
connection with existing blowouts, collapsed fixed structures or wrecks. This aspect of the operations
will have been taken care of at the time of contract award. However, it is the Supervisors
/Superintendent responsibility to ensure this has been done.
4. The vehicles are not to be used to deploy explosives without prior approval from the insurance
company. This does not apply to explosively operated cutters.
5. Vehicles are not to be operated in water depths deeper than maximum operating depth. If a vehicle
capability is increased, it needs to be documented and the information supplied to the insurance
company, the min operating depth for the WROV is 25 m for any change of this depth an office approval
should be taken
6. Work class / small vehicles are not to be operated:
If lack of control of the vehicle at the worksite indicates that the current is greater than the current in
which the ROV can operate safely and perform normal ROV operations.
The decision on current speed and the vehicles maneuverability will be the direct responsibility of the
Site Superintendent / Supervisors.
7. The vehicle is not to be launched if the sea state is greater than six (6) or the weather forecast indicates
that it will deteriorate during the operation to a point that endangers the safe recovery of the vehicle.
Other weather factors, such as Fog, Lighting etc. should be taken in account when the decision to
deploy the vehicle is being made. All weather conditions and sea states are to be checked against the
ships log. & the parameters will be according to the following table:

*These data in the above table are a guide to show roughly what may be expected in the open sea, remote
from land. Figures in brackets indicate the probable maximum height of waves. In enclosed waters, or when
near land with an offshore wind, wave heights will be smaller and the waves steeper.
8. If the system is not fitted with a sonar, the through water visibility must not be less than two meters.
The fitting of a sonar does not mean that the system can operate in bad visibility. The decision on
operating the system in bad visibility conditions of less than one meter is the responsibility of the
onsite senior DeepTech supervisor who will decide if the ROV can operate and conduct useful work
tasks safely.
9. For the drilling support operations the ROV is not allowed to leave the TMS during the drill string rotation
for any reason.
10. Violating any of the limitation for ROV operation for any urgent client requirements will not be accepted
Unless a written commitment from the client for all the responsibilities & consequences will be sent to
DeepTech.
3.6 EMERGENCY RECOVERY PROCEDURES
3.6.1 RESPONSIBILITIES
It is the responsibility of the ROV Superintendent/Supervisor to ensure that the following policy and
procedures are implemented:
3.6.2 POLICY
All ROVs must be fitted with a RF beacon, acoustic Beacon and a strobe for emergency tracking and
recovery purposes when in use offshore. This includes any subcontract or lease equipment where
DeepTech has responsibility and covers the insurance. The acoustic beacon will meet the following
standards:
Frequency 27 kHz. Tracking systems are the Company standard and will be carried whenever third
party tracking is not provided.
Must have a minimum 7 day operational life after power failure.
The unit will operate at 1 PPS with a source level of 84 dB. This will allow the unit to be tracked in
approximately a 1 1/4 mile radius.
The RF beacon will be fitted to the vehicle such that the antenna is located safely at the highest point
of the vehicle.
Alternative equipment can be used if suitable and more appropriate to the region, however, it must
meet equivalent standards.
3.6.3 PROCEDURES
Prior to mobilization, a written Site specific, emergency recovery procedure will be compiled based on the
project and worksite. This will be discussed and agreed with the Operations or Project Manager. During the
mobilization, the Superintendent/Supervisor will review this procedure and modify it as required to fit the
worksite. He will then copy these in writing to the Project Manager for review. The Project Manager will approve
all emergency recovery procedures. See below for Sample Emergency Recovery Procedures.

Folder .
Issue-Revision: 1-3
Page No.: 15/35
The RF beacon acoustic beacon and strobe are to be properly secured to the vehicle on every dive.
Test each unit to verify they are functional. This procedure is to form part of the ROV Pre /
Post Dive Checklist QMS-P01-F07
Check to ensure all the proper identification plates are on the vehicle. Identification plates should
state ROV name and DeepTechs name, address and telephone/fax numbers. They should also state
that a reward is offered for recovery.
Verify that the vehicle will be operating positively buoyant. Dispensation is to be obtained from the
regional Operations Manager to operate the ROV negatively buoyant. The request is to be made in
writing stating the reasons why the dispensation is being sought
Check daily weather conditions i.e. wind, sea state, current direction etc.
Check that emergency deck equipment is on hand and in working order.
Review emergency procedures with both the ROV operators and the Offshore installation crew.
Explain each individuals role in an emergency recovery operation.
For live boat operations, ensure that proper communications have been set up with the bridge.
Set up communication with the Project Manager on the beach. He should be notified of all dead sub
recovery operations ASAP. He is also to be notified immediately of any lost vehicle and will co-
ordinate all shore operations.
Review all operations procedures, leading up to and including the recovery procedures with the
Project Manager.
Always remember safety first. ROV personnel are not to enter the water for any reason. All recovery
operations are to be performed following the safety rules and regulations governing the Company and
our Client.
There are to be no exceptions to this policy and the policy is not to be changed or varied for any
reason without prior written approval.
3.6.3.1 SAMPLE EMERGENCY RECOVERY PROCEDURES FOR ROV SYSTEMS

ROV Systems.
3.6.3.2 LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER OR TELEMETRY (NO LOSS OF POWER TO THE TMS)
If power is lost to the vehicle, a crewmember is to notify the vessel Bridge/Control room immediately.
The ROV operator, under the direction of the Supervisor, will start tethering in on the TMS reel, using the TMS
tether counter on the console to determine how much tether is out. The main lift umbilical winch shall be
manned with hard-wire communications to the ROV control van. It is anticipated that during vehicle recovery,
the TMS will have to be raised slowly to maintain a position where the vehicle is at a greater water depth than
the TMS, assuming the vehicle is positively buoyant.
The TMS should be raised 10 meters then stopped then tether paid in, this process of Fishing the ROV into
the TMS should be continued until the ROV is latched into the TMS. In these circumstances a close watch
should be kept on the vehicle as it exits the water to ensure that the vehicle is securely latched into the TMS. If
the supervisor is not satisfied that the vehicle can be recovered safely, then TMS and ROV will be re-deployed
to a depth of approximately 30 meters, where powering up the TMS and re-latching can take place.
If, when pulling the tether in, the counter stops, indicating that the tether is taut and not fully recovered then the
T.M.S. should be raised slowly to determine whether the vehicle has risen above the T.M.S, or is entangled. If
the operator is able to tether in, the T.M.S. should continue to be raised while attempting to pull the vehicle
under and into the T.M.S.
If raising the T.M.S. lengthens the tether then it should be assumed that the vehicle is entangled and
procedures should be carried out for an entangled vehicle. Remember, close communications between the
winch operators and pilot is essential.
If the vehicle is unable to re-dock with the TMS, the ROV Supervisor will notify the vessel Captain that the
vehicle and TMS will be raised to the surface, not latched together and that each unit will be recovered
separately. If safe to do so, the bridge should be requested to shut down all thrusters and main propulsion
allowing the vessel to drift. When the TMS and vehicle are near the surface, ensure that the vehicle is clear of
the ships thrusters by controlling the amount of tether paid off the TMS reel and repositioning the vessel if
necessary. Once both units are on the surface, one crewmember should make an attempt to place a snap
hook or similar suitable device on the vehicle in case the tether parts during the recovery operation. With both
the vehicle and TMS on the surface, the TMS should be brought on deck, leaving enough slack in the tether to
avoid snatch loading on the tether. At this point, boat poles can be utilized to hold the vehicle close to the
vessel while a snap hook and Kevlar rope are secured to the vehicles lift point. The vehicle would then be
recovered and repair operation would commence.
When operating from a semi-submersible installation or platform, vehicle recovery would be implemented by
following the Lost Vehicle Procedures as described in section 3.6.1.7.
NOTE - Loss of Power or Telemetry to both Vehicle and TMS.
When power and telemetry are lost to the TMS and vehicle, it should be first established by use of diagnostics
that the problem is on the TMS or vehicle and not on the surface console.
Once it is determined that the problem is subsea, the TMS and vehicle should be raised to the surface.
At all times during the ascent, the tension of the main lift umbilical should be monitored. If the line tension
suddenly increases, this would indicate that the ROV or TMS may be fouled.
If the ROV and TMS are fouled, and cannot be worked lose, the Supervisor must contact the DeepTech
Project Manager immediately.
The Operations Manager and the Vessel/Installation Superintendent will then determine the steps to be taken.

3.6.3.3 T.M.S. SYSTEM FAILURE
If the T.M.S. develops either a mechanical or electrical fault that prevents the tether winch from operating
correctly, the vehicle will be positioned directly under the T.M.S.
The T.M.S. will then be recovered back onboard the vessel. As the T.M.S. is being recovered, the vehicle
should usually be able to pull tether out. This will enable the vehicle to remain on the seabed if the depth
permits or hovering at a safe depth below the vessel while the T.M.S. is brought on board and repaired.
If the vehicle cannot pull out the tether, then the vehicle will be brought to the surface alongside the T.M.S.,
and the vehicle will be positioned on the surface away from the vessel while the T.M.S. is repaired.
On completion of repairs, the T.M.S. will then be placed in the water and the vehicle latched to the T.M.S. and
recovered.
If the T.M.S. experiences a major malfunction that cannot be repaired readily, the outboard sheave cover can
be removed, the tether pulled off the outboard sheave and secured to the L.A.R.S. The T.M.S. is then
lowered and with the tether secured at the surface the vehicle is drawn into the T.M.S. and latched on the
failsafe latches. The vehicle and T.M.S. can then be safely recovered. Ensure safe handling of the tether to
prevent damage and/or snagging during recovery operations.
3.6.1.6 Emergency Procedure for Fouled Vehicles
As each case will vary greatly, the following guidelines have been established to help/aid the Supervisor and
crew in the safe and successful recovery of the vehicle.
Establish where and how the vehicle is fouled. Advise the Bridge and Client Representative of the
situation. Play back the constant run tape in the BLACK BOX DVD and re-examine the events
leading up to the vehicle becoming fouled.
Notify the Project Manager of the problem. He will then be on notice if further assistance is required.
If possible, deploy a second camera system to help evaluate the problem and aid in un-fouling.
As long as conditions permit and the vehicle has power, continue trying to untangle or work the vehicle
free by using the manipulators and vehicle thrusters.
Note: Tethering in or pulling up on the TMS should be performed with extreme caution and only as a last
measure. Should the tether be snagged the heave motion of the TMS will put a great deal of strain on
the tether and cause severe damage leaving the vehicle inoperative.
If the vehicle is fouled in a piece of equipment that is to be recovered to the surface, stand by and
work with the other operators to recover the vehicle in conjunction with the other piece of equipment.
If the vehicle and/or TMS is fouled and cannot be worked loose, follow procedures in previous
Sections Loss of Power and Telemetry to Both TMS and Vehicle.

3.6.3.4 PROCEDURES FOR LOST VEHICLE
If for any reason the vehicle and TMS become parted, the following steps should be put into effect
immediately.
Notify the vessel Captain; OIM; Vessel Shift Supervisor

Recover TMS (if applicable)
Check current surface position (Loran/GPS).

Check environmental conditions (current direction, wind, etc.).
Notify all vessels in the area and inform them of the last known position of the vehicle and where the
vehicle is expected to settle or surface.
Notify the Project Manager contact numbers are enclosed in Section 8 Attachment 1 of this document.
If the vessel operator allows, continue to search for as long as possible or until requested to stop.
Obtain copy of Ships D.P Log, ROV Dive Log and ROV Pre/Post Dive Checklist.
Obtain signed statements from each ROV crewmember.
Provide a detailed report of incident. Including weather conditions, current, visibility, sketches of
vessel and ROV positions etc.
Confirm all equipment lists includes any additional equipment fitted.
Set up a review with the crew of the events that occurred and how steps can be taken to prevent the
loss of another vehicle. Advise the Project Manager of the findings and/or corrective action.
The Project Manager will then co-ordinate all shore activities to support search and recovery operations.
This will include:
Scheduling of helicopters.
Obtaining a tracking system (if required) and scheduling it out to the site
location.
Scheduling of replacement system.
Onsite DeepTech Representative to ensure the following procedures are

implemented:
If the tether is severely damaged and parted, the vehicle should float to the surface, assuming the ROV has
been operated buoyant in accordance with the company's operating procedures. In this situation the ROV
should be tracked utilizing the onboard RF receiver and strobe light, until such time as a rescue operation is
possible. Any rescue operation will be coordinated by the ROV Supervisor and the vessel captain. Rescue will
invariably involve utilizing the vessel's Fast Rescue Craft (FRC), which in itself is very weather dependent.
Assuming the vessel captain gives approval to go ahead with the rescue, the first stage would involve
attaching a soft lifting strop to the ROV lift point. This would then be used to recover the ROV to deck using
the vessel crane. Again it should be stressed that this is a combined operation involving vessel and ROV crew
and as such requires good communication and co-operation between all concerned.

Folder .
Issue-Revision: 1-3
Page No.: 19/35
In the situation where the ROV support vessel is unable to assist with a rescue operation then all surface ships
in the vicinity should be advised of the situation and requested to look out for the ROV. If found, it should be
stressed that no approach should be made within 100 meter and recovery should not be attempted unless the
on-site DeepTech representative has given prior approval. Any recovery operation would be coordinated
from the ROV support vessel utilizing the same procedures as listed above.
Assuming the ROV has been operated negatively buoyant, for project specific reasons, then the onboard
H.P.R system would be used to track the vehicle until it stabilized on the seabed. W here necessary, the ROV
mounted Hele Pinged can also be utilized to locate and track the ROV. If another ROV is available on the
support vessel then rescue operations can commence after consultation with the vessel captain and client
representative. This would involve attachment of a crane line to a soft ROV recovery strop, attached to the
vehicle lift point.
3.6.3.5 A . R . S . OR WINCH FAILURE
If the winch fails during a dive, the vehicle will remain latched to the T.M.S. until a repair is affected. If the
failure occurs whilst the load is in the air, the T.M.S/VEHICLE assembly should be secured to prevent contact
damage with any nearby structures or associated components.
If the winch or L.A.R.S. cannot be repaired a recovery line can be lowered from the vessel, the vehicle can be
used to secure the line to the T.M.S. and then, dependent on the vessels configuration the vehicle and T.M.S.
can be recovered, either separately or together.
3.6.3.6 SYSTEM ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power failure during a dive, the system will be inoperative. Vehicle position will be monitored
by interrogation of the onboard vehicle HPR transponder. Once power is restored, the location of the vehicle
shall be verified by camera and sonar prior to returning to the T.M.S. Once at the T.M.S., an assessment of
damage will be conducted, and a decision will be made to continue or abort the dive. Continuation of the dive
should only be conducted if it is assured the power failure will not recur.
3.6.3.7 RECOVERY OF ROV BY DIVERS
The clients representative along with the Diving Supervisor will control all aspects of any ROV rescue
operation carried out by divers. The onsite ROV Supervisor shall assist, and be present, in the Dive Control
Room, during all rescue operations. Hardwire communications will be maintained with the ROV Control Room,
where two operators will be present at all times, under direction from the Diving Control Room. For Work class
vehicles, hydraulic power will be isolated, prior to any diver activity.
The diver shall clear all thrusters from entanglements and release the ROV. The diver shall retire to a safe
place and the ROV crew will be informed when they are allowed to enable System Power and commence
vehicle recovery.
If the ROV is still incapable of recovery and is located within a structure, a diver should attach a line to the
disabled ROV from the surface, and monitor the recovery of the ROV to the outside of the structure using the
surface winches or cranes.
The TMS will be activated to reel in the slack tether and the diver shall release the surface line when the
vehicle can be recovered into the T.M.S. and normal recovery operations will continue.
The Diving Spread shall clear the site and the disabled ROV shall be recovered.

Person, affect the load bearing elements of the container, or elements which contribute directly to its
structural integrity.
3.7.3.2 CONTAINER MAINTENANCE
The containers may need some general maintenance during their time onboard the vessel/installation. The
outer shell of the container will require painting to prevent rust and deterioration. Hinges on the doors will
require to be inspected for integrity and greased or oiled on a regular basis.
3.7.4 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
All installations must be carried out in accordance to the local worksite regulations, work permits, checking of
gas, welding procedures, load testing and certification.
Before any work takes place, a valid work permit shall be obtained from the onboard safety officer or
authorized person.
Hook-up of electrical cabling / equipment shall be carried out under Supervision of the onboard electrician or
in accordance to his instructions, all connections to vessel, platform should be conducted by a competent
person).
Refer to LOTO Safety ProcedureSafe Use of Electricity & High Voltage. Under no circumstances have any of
the DeepTech crew approval to switch on Mains Power to the ROV equipment before the systems have been
checked-out by the proper onboard electrician. If in any doubt ask the Supervisor.
So as to ensure as clean an electrical power supply as possible, the ROV system is to be connected to the
main switchboard through its own dedicated breaker, which is to be provided by the offshore installation. The
rating of the breaker is dependent on the type of ROV system.
1. Site the ROV system units on the deck as per the previously agreed deck or platform layout
installation drawing.
2. Weld or sea-fasten the control and work containers in place. The preferable method of securing the
control and work vans in place is to use corner brackets welded on to the deck. This method
precludes having to weld directly on to the corner castings of the containers.
The Launch and Recovery System (L.A.R.S.) needs to be securely welded into position ensuring that
sufficient welding/fixing has been carried out to support the weight of the vehicle and T.M.S. pre-
installed launch and recovery tie down brackets should be used.

3. Attach earthling straps from the control, work containers, winch, and charge cart and from the
L.A.R.S. skids. Measure resistance to be less than 1 ohm between the containers and L.A.R.S. skids
and the vessels deck. Ensure there is an Earth strap available for the ROV when on deck.
4. Connect the main power cable to the ROV system and run the cable along the most appropriate
route to the ships power supply breaker. Prior to connecting cable to breaker, mega the cable and
ROV power distribution system to ensure earth isolation is greater than 20 M Ohms. Provide the
vessel, installation Electrician with an Electrical Connection Certificate Form, to be completed as
confirmation when connection is complete.
5. If all of the electrical tests measure OK, connect the main power cables of each of the systems to the
vessels supply breaker. Ensure all E.P.D.U. supply breakers are locked in the OFF position.
6. With all breakers in the E.P.D.U. switched OFF, apply power to the ROV system.
7. Switch power on to each of the containers domestic power supplies and power to the E.P.D.U.
(Electrical Power Distribution Units). Observe the E.P.D.U. indicator light is lit indicating correct phase
rotation. If the indicator light is not lit, disconnect power and reverse any two phases.
Power is now available to the control containers and work containers for lighting, air-conditioning and
power tools only.
8. Connect all system interconnect cables between the control container and L.A.R.S. for each of the
systems.
Note: W herever possible the system power and interconnect cables are to be run overhead, suitably
secured, however where cables are routed along decks or other areas where they may be subject to
damage, adequate protection is to be provided.

Page No.: 24/35
*WARNING*
The interconnect cables between the control container and L.A.R.S. consist of a high voltage
(3000VAC) cable. Prior to connecting this cable personnel are to ensure that all of the high voltage
breakers in the E.P.D.U. are locked in the OFF position, and all conductors discharged to ground
9. When the interconnect cables between the L.A.R.S. and control van have been connected, the
L.A.R.S. electrical system isolation is to be measured. The isolation reading to earth is to be greater
than 20 M Ohms using a 500V Meggar.
10. Check oil level in reservoir then switch on the L.A.R.S. electric motor and ensure motor rotation is
correct. If rotation is incorrect, any two of the L.A.R.S. supply phases are to be reversed.
11. Switch on the L.A.R.S. and unfold the A-Frame/ crane from the storage / transportation position.
12. Position the T.M.S, if applicable, in a convenient position to carry out the tether termination into the
vehicle junction box.
13. If the T.M.S. has to be powered up, to pay tether out, so as to carry out the tether termination, the
isolation and continuity measurements for the T.M.S. have to be carried out prior to operation of the
T.M.S.
In addition, the T.M.S. hydraulic compensator needs to be checked to be full of oil and ensure that
ONLY the T.M.S. breaker is unlocked and switched ON. On completion of running the T.M.S. switch
breaker OFF and lock.
14. Terminate the tether into the vehicle junction box. Do not fill with oil at this stage. Ensure all glands
are installed correctly and secured.
15. Disconnect the G.F.D. cable at the High Voltage Transformer Unit (H.V.T.U.).
16. Check vehicle and T.M.S. isolations to be greater than 20 M Ohm as detailed below:
FUNCTION CONTINUITY ISOLATION INSTRUMENT
T.M.S. Power < 50 Ohms >20 Mohms 1000V Meggar

Vehicle Instrument <100 Ohms >20 Mohms 1500V HIPOT
Vehicle Power <100 Ohms >20 Mohms 3000V HIPOT
On completion of isolation and continuity testing, short all conductors to earth to discharge cables and
ensure all connections broken during the testing are reconnected correctly and are tight.
17. Switch on the surface console and check computers working correctly. Switch on auxiliary and
video consoles and check operating correctly.
18. Check all surface G.F.D, G.F.I. and LIM channels operating correctly as per manufacturers manual.
Note: it is very important, that, as part of the electrical installation work the ROV crew checks the
following: check for ground faults and the G.F.M. functions correctly; as these are point critical for the
safety of personnel against electric shock.
19. The T.M.S. has not previously been run, unlock the T.M.S. breaker and switch on. Ensure hydraulic
compensator is full of oil then switch T.M.S. hydraulics ON. Check TETHER IN/OUT, LATCHES
OPEN/CLOSE operate correctly, check hydraulic oil pressure to be 2000psi (138 Bar). Switch off on
completion of tests.
Note: the hydraulic systems shall be run above the water for the shortest possible time as extended
dry running can result in serious damage from overheating or running dry seals.

24. Check wiring from surface to all additional survey sensors.
25. Check vehicle compensator full of oil and bled, run the system on the deck pack checking all
thrusters, manipulators and pan/tilt units.
26. Switch on each of H.P.U.s in turn and check for correct rotation by vehicle hydraulic pressure reading
specific to different systems.
27. If all of the above checks are correct the vehicle tether junction box can now be filled with oil and bled.
Note: When filling the TMS Slip Rings tilt the TMS at an angle with the bleed point of the Slip Rings at
the highest point. Great care should be taken to ensure that all air is removed from the slip rings
28. Carry out a full set of ROV system pre-dive checks to ensure all systems are operating correctly.
Pay particular attention to the hydraulic systems and ensure that all fittings are tight and there are no
hydraulic oil leaks.
29. On completion of the pre-dive checks the system can be considered to be mobilized. However, it is
considered desirable to give the ROV a short (30-45 minute) test dive and check all systems
operate correctly at depth. The Client Representative may also wish to witness the test dive.

4.1 GENERAL
The Superintendent / Supervisors is to ensure that ALL components that comprise the ROV system are
maintained within the manufacturers and companys specifications. Regular maintenance is to be carried
out in accordance with manufacturers manual and DeepTech planned maintenance procedures, Section 4.3,
to ensure that equipment failures whilst operating are kept to a minimum
Aesthetically, the system is to be maintained to a high standard. Presentation of the launch system, vehicle
control and work containers, within and without, must be maintained to the highest standards that conditions
on-site allow.
The Supervisor and Operators are responsible for the day to day running and maintenance of t h e
ROV system.
The Supervisor is to direct the ROV technicians to carry out preventative and corrective maintenance on the
system. This is to include all ancillary items, stores and the upkeep of the aesthetic appearance of the
system.
All items requiring maintenance are to be addressed on-site and not left to be done when the system is back
in the workshop. If an item cannot be repaired offshore immediately, it is to be addressed in one of two ways:
a) Sent onshore for repair correctly labelled and manifested.
b) Kept onboard the system and replacement parts for repair ordered immediately.
Superintendent / Supervisors must use their judgment as to whether a replacement assembly is required until
the faulty part is repaired.
All defects are to be thoroughly investigated for possible repair onsite. This achieves three objectives:
1. The equipment remains with the system and is not tied up in transit for long periods.
2. The technicians gain insight knowledge of the equipment they are operating/ maintaining.
3. If unrepairable offshore, a detailed fault analysis can be submitted with the equipment when it is sent
onshore for repairs, thus saving turnaround time. An Equipment Failure Report QMS-P16-F12 shall
be completed and sent with defective equipment in such cases.
All defective items are to have an unserviceable tag attached to them. Clearly identifying the part and fault
Preventative maintenance schedules for equipment are generally stated in the manufacturers manuals.
These are to be followed at all times. DeepTech will provide further planned preventative maintenance
schedules through software which will be monitored all the times to insure all PMs are covered properly for a
particular system or subassembly. These are issued as appropriate.
When on-site and a maintenance task is likely to render the system inoperable for an extended period,
the Client Representative must be approached and permission obtained to carry out this maintenance. If
the safety of personnel or risk to equipment is an issue then this must be emphasized to the Client and
logged in the records.

4.2 SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS
If at any time it is necessary to alter the systems electrical or hydraulic configuration from standard, the
following steps are to be taken:
a) Photocopy the relevant drawing from the manual and redline the changes. The redline drawing is to
be inserted in the manual and maintenance logbook along with the original. At no time is the original
to be altered. If a photocopier is not available, a hand drawn sketch will suffice.
b) A copy of the drawing indicating the changes and a copy of the field modification record is to be sent
to the Operations Manager. The field modification record index is also to be updated.
This procedure is particularly important on contracts where equipment is reconfigured to satisfy the
requirement of the client and then reverted to standard at the end of the contract. Without the correct
documentation this can be a difficult task. Any modifications still on the vehicle at demobilization should be
identified on the End of Trip and Demobilization Report.
4.2.1 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
All vehicles are to be operated with clean hydraulic oil. Any discoloration or milky color of the oil indicates
that seawater contamination is occurring.
If seawater contamination is occurring, the cause is to be quickly found and eliminated. Salt-water ingress
reduces the working life of all hydraulic components and affects the operational capabilities of the system.
Where applicable, oil water separators should be fully utilized to reduce the risk of contamination.
All adapter/compensator housings are to be checked regularly for oil contamination and air.
The Supervisor is to ensure that the ROV system carries an adequate supply of oil for all the system
requirements taking into account the location and time required re-supply.
4.2.2 ELECTRICAL / ELECTRONIC SYSTEM
All electrical/electronic equipment is to be maintained in a good, safe working condition.
ROV systems have high voltages associated with them. Electrical systems must be isolated and appropriate
precautions taken when working on such equipment. (Refer to Manufacturers Literature and the DeepTech
HSE Management System Manual and Safety Procedure Safe use of Electricity and High Voltage).
All spare PCBs are to be tested and marked at least annually. To this end all spare PCBs are to be kept fully
loaded with components, it should not be necessary to remove components from a suspect PCB to install on
its replacement. If this happens, order spares immediately, red tag the PCB and log a Fault/Repair Record
EFR.
4.3 PLANNED MAINTENANCE

The planned maintenance schedule for DeepTech operated ROV Systems have been implemented to
ensure reliable and cost effective operations of the equipment.
For each system a maintenance program has been produced, this covers a one-year period. The program
has the following time spans;
Maintenance Plan (Annually, Six Monthly, Monthly, Weekly) Form QMS-P01-F12

Folder .
Issue-Revision: 1-3
Page No.: 29/35
And covers the following equipment; Vehicle

TMS
LARS (covers A-frame and winch)
Crane
Lock latch
Containers
The ROV System Superintendent / Supervisors or responsible person will initiate at an appropriate time, the
maintenance required for that period. Weekly, monthly, six monthly and annually maintenance forms will be
completed and returned to the Supervisor or responsible person to review and be logged in to the System
Planned Maintenance File.
The Superintendent / Supervisors or responsible person will indicate on the Weekly Technical Report that
the required maintenance for that week has been completed. Weekly PMs Form is to be completed
weekly, original, logged in the System Maintenance software and a copy forwarded to DeepTech office, this
form replaces the original ROV System weekly technical report.
All maintenance conducted on the ROV System shall be detailed on the Maintenance plan. A copy of the
completed Maintenance plan should be logged in the relevant System Technical File section. Another copy
should be returned to DeepTech base for records.
Any parts used during maintenance operations should be detailed on Form and a replacement ordered to
replenish the System inventory.
It is the responsibility of the Superintendent / Supervisors and the Operations Manager based in the office to
monitor the Planned Maintenance System and decide if any amendments are required.
A central library of all ROV System Maintenance documentation will be kept in Cairo Office, Technical
Support Department.
ROV Project Managers may keep relevant ROV project Maintenance documentation in the project files but the
originals or copies of all ROV Maintenance documentations shall be on possession of the Operations
Manager in Cairo.
ROV Systems will always have the System Maintenance File completed and this file will remain with the
system.
4.4 SPARES
In accordance with DeepTech procedures, the spares with the ROV System are to be maintained and their
status to be recorded. It is the responsibility of all technicians to keep the inventory system up to date. This
system is on the Technical Reporting Database. The updating of the inventory in the software will be
assigned to one of the team to be responsible for all the times during his shift nothing gets in or out of the
inventory without informing him to register it
During time of reduced ROV operational activity, system spares are to be tested and their status recorded and
logged. Defective items are to be tagged and remedial action scheduled. Test dates are not to exceed one
year. This applies especially to printed circuit boards, but is to be expanded to other major spares carried as
the Supervisor deems applicable and maintenance schedules dictate.
The Superintendent/Supervisor is to ensure that spares ordered are necessary items and ordered in sufficient
quantity required to maintain the system in an operable status. You must always bear in mind the cost of
items ordered as it directly affects the systems profitability.

5 DTMIS (DEEPTECH MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
DTMIS (DeepTech Management Information System) include:

Offshore management software
QHSE System
DeepTech Archiving system
5.1 DEEPTECH OFFSHORE SOFTWARE

This software is designed to fit with the nature of offshore and facilitate communication
process between Deeptech main office and Deeptech offshore sites. This software includes
the following modules:
1- Inventory
2- Issue and follow up for MRs (Material Requisition)
3- Issue and follow up for EFRs (Equipment Failure Report)
4- Send and received package
5- Maintenance plans and tasks
All offshore team should use this software to add and pull items from inventory and to issue all
required MRs, EFRs.
5.2 QHSE SYSTEM
QHSE System (Quality, health, safety and environmental management system) contains all documentation,
work instructions, forms, etc. issued and approved for use by DeepTech for all reporting purposes in the field of
operations, quality and HSE.
A compact disk containing all QHSE data is issued to each ROV system.
5.2.1 REPORTING
5.2.1.1 OPERATIONS/PROJECT REPORTING
All Logs and reporting forms formats referenced to in this section are enclosed in the IMS CD.
For project/operations reporting, a technical reporting database is available. I t contains all the forms
deemed necessary for day-to-day reporting.
The technical reporting database is available in CD format and is issued as standard to all Deeptech
ROV systems.
The production of proper documentation is an essential aspect of the Supervisors and Operators role. Often
the primary task of the ROV is to gather information. This information MUST be recorded and presented in a
manner that enables the Client and the Operations Project Manager to take informed decisions about the
operation and the results. In the absence of Client supplied pro-form as and data sheets Deeptech sheets
and logs must be utilized.
The forms listed below fall into one of three categories:
Operations Project Records and Client required information such as that contained in the work
scope data logs e.g.:
o Daily Progress Reports (Form QMS-P01-F09)

o Video Logs (Form QMS-P01-F13)

Folder .
Issue-Revision: 1-3
Page No.: 31/35
o Dive Logs (Form QMS-P01-F08)

o Minutes of Meeting (Form IMS-P06-F02)
o Daily Progress Report (Form QMS-P01-F09)
a. Daily Progress Report (DPR) (Form QMS-P01-F07)
The Daily Progress Report (DPR) is a comprehensive summary of the days activities. DPRs are to
commence the day the system is mobilized and personnel are to report on the mobilization through to Client
acceptance of the system. It is important for commercial reasons that the client signs the DPRs for
acceptance of the system as soon as possible. Generally Deeptech does not receive a day rate payment for
the system until acceptance. Delays in acceptance or ambiguities as to when the system was accepted are to
be avoided.
Once operational, the DPRs will also be used to record all activities and the information gathered during that
day and to include all personnel and peripheral equipment for invoicing purposes. During a dive the Dive Log
will become the primary method of recording detailed dive activities. Number dives sequentially in the column
provided. This will assist in correlating information at a later date.
We can never put too much information into the dive log. Be precise and factual with your entries, always
remembering that those who recover the information contained in the dive log at a later date do not have the
benefit of being on location. What is obvious to you is not always to a third person. W rite it down.
b. Video Log (Form QMS-P01-F13)
The video/event log is to be a comprehensive record of activities undertaken during a dive, which is to be
recorded on videotape for presentation to the Client/Contractor or Deeptech.
At the commencement of a contract, the Supervisor, in consultation with the Client, is to initiate a sequential
video tape number system for tapes which are to be passed to the Client. This number is to be clearly labelled
on every tape.
On the video/event log, enter real time and tape count index together. This will assist in locating sections of a
tape that has been paused at any stage during recording.
All significant events that occur during the dive are to be entered onto the video/event log. Accompanying the
written record, a voice commentary must be given on Channel 1 of the videotape. Related records such as
the Dive number, pipeline survey sheet, inspection data sheet, or anomaly report are to be noted on the
video/event log.
Note: Prior to commencing a dive during which video is to be recorded a test of all video and oral equipment
is to be carried out. A full dives work can be lost for the sake of a wrongly positioned switch. Check the
system out. Remember to always have the contingency (black box) tape recording at all times as
reference/back up.
c. Dive Log (Form QMS-P01-F08)
The Dive Log is to be sequentially numbered in a similar manner to the Video/Event Log.
It has to form a comprehensive record of all activities during a dive and must therefore be accurate and
concise.
All related records must be entered into the dive log in a similar manner to the video/event log.
d. Minutes of Meeting (Form IMS-P06-F02)
The minutes of the safety meeting are to be sent to the Project Manager at least once every 2
weeks. For further information, see (IMS-P06)
