Oceaneering Launches New Electric Propulsion Work Class ROV

Designed for extended subsea residency and reduced maintenance, the Momentum™ Electric ROV will debut at the Subsea Tieback Forum in New Orleans this March 3-5, 2026.

New Orleans, Louisiana - Oceaneering International, Inc. today announced that its Subsea Robotics segment has debuted the newest addition to its Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) portfolio, the Momentum™ Electric Work Class ROV, at Subsea Tieback Forum.

The Momentum™ Electric ROV was developed using a reliability-driven, data-informed design approach that re-engineered the work-class platform around electric propulsion to improve efficiency and simplify system architecture. The vehicle is designed for 30-day continuous subsea operations, enabling extended support for drilling, inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR), surveys, and construction work scopes. Featuring plug-and-play sensors, advanced 360-degree vision, automation, strong thrust, and high payload capacity, the Momentum™ Electric ROV delivers the power and control required for demanding work-class operations. Offering backwards compatibility with Millennium® Plus ROV infrastructure, Momentum supports quick upgrades and scalable deployment.

Martin McDonald, Senior Vice President of Subsea Robotics at Oceaneering, stated: "With the Momentum™ Electric ROV, we focused on what matters most to customers: availability and capabilities that deliver confidence during critical offshore work. By applying electrification through a disciplined, data-driven approach, we've reduced vehicle maintenance while improving efficiency and operational availability. This allows customers to execute longer, more predictable subsea campaigns while strengthening Oceaneering's ability to deliver scalable, differentiated solutions that create long-term value."
