Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0192649A1] An underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) (100) has a buoyancy block (102) connected to a frame (120). The buoyancy block (102) has a density less than that of the water in which the vehicle is to operate, and the centre of buoyancy of the vehicle submerged in water is higher than the centre of gravity of the vehicle. The buoyancy block (102) can be moved relative to a main vehicle frame (103) by means of a hydraulic cylinder (122), in order to adjust the horizontal position of the centre of buoyancy relative to the centre of gravity.
