The 11th training program for operations of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) was completed at Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SIA, CAS) on March 16, 2011. The program focuses on the operation of two quick deployment type ROVs which are designed and built by SIA and will be put into service soon.
Nine ROV users from Zhoushan and Dalian attended the two-week training courses. With this training program, the trainees masteredthe ROV operation skills, and they also gave some valuable suggestions on further improvements and how to play a greater role for equipment in reality.
In recent years, the ROVs designed and delivered by SIA have carried out many underwater surveys and emergency tasks, and these ROVs have been widely and highly praised by the end users.
