Tether Management Systems
The Tether Management System® (TMS) stores and deploys the ROV tether cable so that the ROV is decoupled from motion of the surface vessel and is able to operate at a larger radius. Forum offers both top-hat and garage-type systems, including types fitted with thruster systems for even greater operating radius.
The latest generation Forum TMS has more capacity and faster speed with gentler tether handling for extended service life.
