Submersible Systems, Inc. (SSI) was founded by Wolfgang Burnside in 1990 as a specialty ROV company encompassing Onshore and Offshore ROV Operations. In 2008, due to the unavailability of a medium sized, high mass, rugged ROV that could meet SSI’s specifications, the concept of SSI manufacturing its own purpose built, specially designed ROV system was implemented.
These “tethered remote vehicle” systems, designated “TRV”, have to date, operated flawlessly, even in currents exceeding 3 knots.
