TMS (Tether Management System) and ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle)
The TMS (Tether Management System) is the ROV's (Remotely Operated Vehicle) "garage". It eliminates the effect of drag of the long length of umbilical attached to the ROV. It also provides protection to the ROV during its launch and recovery.
Via an umbilical, the ROV transmits survey data to the support vessel. With its manipulator arms it deploys the explosive charge and collects scrap after the demolition.
Nord Stream developed a plan for the removal of munitions to ensure that the pipeline is safe and the effects on the Baltic Sea environment and on marine life are minimal. In this endeavour, the company benefits from the experience of the navies of the Baltic Sea countries, which conduct mine clearing missions in cooperation with The Partnership for Peace, a programme between partner countries and NATO. Through their efforts, over 1,000 mines have been cleared since 1996.
