Why would any company buy two different types of ROV’s?
It would be difficult for spares and crew.
I can not see this being true.

What do you mean Dan? Haven’t you ever seen a workclass and an eyeball class on the same vessel? Plenty of companies have bought and have on their assets sheets, several different ROV systems.
No I mean to buy 8 XLX’s and 8 UHD’s is quite a difficult mix of vehicles to rotate the same crew through.
It is a lot easier if you have 16 UHD’s or 16 XLX’s for training and continuety purposes, + spares.

Dan,
You’ll probably find that there may be 2 different teams at first and slowly cross-train / swap-overs. Only a guess and it’s what I would do if sitting in the big chair.
