Abstract

The invention relates to an unmanned surface vessel for remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) operations, comprising an ROV, a deployment and recovery device to deploy an ROV from the vessel to water and recover the ROV from the water to the vessel, and a vessel control unit controlling the deployment and recovery of the ROV, the operation of the ROV, and movements of the vessel.
