Mini ROV
New mini and micro ROVs from EPRONS plus compact observation systems from Ocean Robotics.
Observation & Inspection ROV
New observation and inspection-class ROV systems through Dockstr; SEAMOR Mako and CHINOOK, Rovtech Valor (Digit-Class), EPRONS and the Ocean Robotics Pearl. Pipeline, hull, structural and asset inspection.
Light Work-Class ROV
Dockstr’s new-build portfolio reaches up to light work-class. Heavy WROV and construction-class systems are brokered through the secondary market desk.
Underwater ROV systems through our authorised manufacturer partners, covering micro, mini, observation-class and up to light work-class vehicles for offshore energy, defence, ports, fish farming and ocean science. Heavy work-class spreads are not part of the new-build line; those requirements are brokered through the secondary market desk.
At a glance
ROV - what the desk handles
ROV brand partners
SEAMOR for modular observation builds; Rovtech for Digit-Class observation and the Valor; EPRONS for mini and micro systems; Ocean Robotics for observation through to light work-class.
Mini through light work-class
Micro and mini vehicles, observation-class workhorses, high-bandwidth observation, and Ocean Robotics’ larger intervention variants.
OEM warranty preserved
Every new build ships with the manufacturer’s full factory warranty, FAT documentation and operator manuals.
Spares and service from day one
Spares packages and service-level options are priced in alongside the system, not bolted on after handover.

Buy-side and sell-side
Two sides of the same desk
Buying
Specify operating depth, payload and deployment vessel. We confirm scope with the manufacturer and return a full proposal covering the system, tooling, spares package, training and lead time.
Selling
Manufacturers evaluating distribution in our regions can engage the same desk. We extend reach into operator and contractor fleets without diluting your brand or pricing.
In detail
How this segment is brokered
Choosing by mission, not by brand
The right vehicle starts from the job. Harbour security sweeps, hull inspection, wind turbine foundation surveys, shallow-water intervention and light tooling work all map to different classes, payloads and deployment requirements.
Our desk walks through depth rating, tether length and management, sensor payload, manipulator requirements, vessel deck space and LARS interface before recommending a brand. Where two manufacturer partners bid the same enquiry, we present both, then leave the choice with the operator.

Where the new-build line ends
Our OEM partnerships cover micro, mini and observation-class vehicles across all four brands, and reach into intervention and light work-class through Ocean Robotics. They do not extend to heavy work-class (WROV) or 250hp+ construction-class spreads.
When a project genuinely needs heavy work-class capability, we are honest about it. The secondary market desk handles late-life and ex-fleet WROVs in volume; in most cases that is a faster and more capital-efficient route to a heavy spread than a clean-sheet new build through a third-party OEM.

What sits inside the distribution agreements
Standard production systems, factory options and ancillary tooling are inside the distribution scope. Custom-engineered variants are priced case by case by the OEM’s engineering team with Dockstr managing the commercial wrapper.
Spares packages, recommended consumables, training courses and extended service contracts are quoted alongside the base vehicle. The aim is a single PO that closes equipment, operational support and training in one move.

How a new-build procurement runs
Specification at week zero; OEM quote and lead time at week one to two; PO and build slot confirmed at week two to four; manufacturing window of 6 to 16 weeks depending on class; factory acceptance test attended by Dockstr; freight, customs and delivery; site acceptance test and operator familiarisation on the deployment vessel.
We stay in the chain through every gate. After handover we remain the commercial line for spares, service contracts and upgrades; and for any future divestment through the secondary market.
Scope
Typical new-vehicle engagements
01
Digit-Class observation spread for a wind O&M visual inspection contract
02
Compact observation system for a port authority security programme
03
Mini ROV fleet for an aquaculture site inspection contractor
04
Light work-class Ocean Robotics variant for shallow-water tooling work
05
Micro vehicle for confined-space and hull inspection
System layout
How the spread fits together
A typical ROV spread; control van and HPU topside, A-frame LARS over the side, tether management system in the water column, and the vehicle working off the TMS.
Most new-build enquiries are scoped against this kind of spread; the vehicle is only one component. Where the host vessel does not justify a TMS, the umbilical runs straight to the vehicle.
FAQ
Common questions
Which ROV brands can I buy new through Dockstr?
SEAMOR Marine (modular observation; Mako and CHINOOK), Rovtech (Digit-Class observation; Valor), EPRONS (mini, micro and compact observation) and Ocean Robotics (observation through light work-class; Pearl). Each is a formal distribution arrangement.
Do you sell work-class ROVs new?
Up to light work-class only. Heavy work-class and 250hp+ construction-class spreads are not part of the new-build portfolio; we broker those through the secondary market desk, where used WROVs come to market regularly.
What is the typical lead time on a new observation or mini vehicle?
Mini and micro EPRONS systems typically run 6 to 10 weeks ex-works. SEAMOR Mako and Rovtech Valor observation builds typically fall in the 8 to 16 week band, depending on configuration. Ocean Robotics light work-class variants run longer and are quoted against the mission spec.
Can I configure tooling and sensor payloads at order time?
Yes. Cameras, sonar, USBL, cathodic protection probes, laser scaling, sample baskets and manipulator selection (where the platform supports it) are all priced inside the same proposal.
Do you handle training and operator familiarisation?
Yes; operator training is included on most systems and can be delivered at the OEM facility or on the deployment vessel during SAT.
