John McCann: Power Density, Precision and Control for Work-class ROVs

Join us at Excel London on March 12, 2026 at 10:30 AM (GMT) for an exciting session with John McCann. This presentation explores SMD’s transition from hydraulic to high-power electric propulsion in work class ROVs after more than twenty years of hydraulic system leadership. It examines the limitations of hydraulic technology and the advantages of electric systems, including improved power density, precision, and control. The session also highlights development challenges and solutions, demonstrating how electric propulsion can deliver greater efficiency, reliability, and reduced environmental impact, helping shape the future of subsea operations.
