Canonical ID: `72a4ce02-5eb4-4b1f-ad31-54596d8d0f65`

Saab Seaeye Leopard work-class ROV ordered in May 2023 by LOTOS Petrobaltic (part of multi-energy concern ORLEN) to service underwater infrastructure at Poland's B3 and B8 oil fields in the Baltic Sea. The B3 field hosts the Baltic Beta rig; the B8 field holds an estimated 3.5 million tonnes of oil. The Leopard was selected for its versatility and wide equipment options. Survey package includes multi-beam sonar, LIDAR, and pipetracker. Tasks include comprehensive inspection of underwater structures, construction cleaning, cutting, dredging, support for head installations, and diving support. LOTOS Petrobaltic prepared their supply vessel Bazalt II as the dedicated operational platform, adapting it for the LARS system and a custom control cabin.
