Based on the qualified and well proven API17D/ISO13628 Hydraulic Hot Stab design, Oceaneering Subsea All Electric has developed a multifunctional Subsea Connector 3Stab for easy and reliable connection of ROV Tools and Subsea Equipment where hydraulic energy, electrical power and communication are required.

The system is designed without any electrical contact surfaces and utilizes a patented inductive technology for transferring both electrical power and communication with an efficiency significantly better than obtainable by conventional inductive technology. Hence the system and design is perfect for ROV operations due to extreme resilience and guidance offered by the Hot Stab design. The 3Stab is expected to revolutionize both design and planning of ROV tools, equipment and operations due to the flexibility offered and the possibility of subsea change-out of complex hydraulic/ electrical tools. This is especially beneficial as the oil industry goes deeper and the complexity of ROV tools are increasing.
No need to pull the ROV to deck to do a tooling change-out.
