Research

Handling systems and deck equipment from SH Group will meet any requirements whether the research vessel is on a seismic or hydrographic survey, construction or dredging job or oil exploration. All our equipment is reliable, safe and easy to operate in any weather - even the most demanding conditions at sea. 

Design, production, assembly and testing are carried out in Denmark. This is done deliberately to ensure optimum control of quality and functionality for each delivery, hence reducing installation and testing time on site. 

"The LARS delivered to us by SH Group has proven itself as being very reliable and easy to operate."

Stig Vågenes ROV Manager, University of Bergen

"Since a research voyage is planned many months ahead, it is very important that all launch and recovery equipment on board, are reliable and operational when required, as you only have a specific window to carry out the planned test, sample collecting, filming etc. The LARS delivered to us by SH Group has proven itself as being very reliable and easy to operate. Something which is vital when used and operated by different people on board our vessel."
