Nova Ray Inc. Expands Into Southeast Asia
Kirkland, WA, June 30, 2005, Nova Ray, Inc. a manufacturer
of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) for use underwater
announced today that it has signed an agreement with Wako
Kousan Co., Ltd. Of Tokyo, Japan (www.wakoshop.jp)
to represent Nova ray in Southeast Asia. The Agreement allows
Wako Kousan to represent, sell, promote and advertise Nova
Ray ROVs in Japan, the Republic of South Korea, Taiwan,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand and Singapore. Nova
Ray President, Krist Geriene stated, “We feel that
the market for our ROVs in Southeast Asia is significant
and will grow nicely as customers understand the advantages
of the Nova Ray® ROV. Partnering with Wako Kousan will
strongly launch our products in the area.”
The Nova Ray patented arcuate wing design solves long-time
industry struggles with cable drag in strong currents. The
wing design eliminates the phenomenon know as “Dutch
Roll Instability”, a problem experienced by flat wing
designs. The arcuate-shaped wings of the Nova Ray counteract
the lifting force of the umbilical (also described as the
tether or cable). Therefore, the speed of the boat (or other
vessel) or current has little effect on the operational
stability of the Nova Ray. The wings increase cable use
efficiency and reduce the amount of cable necessary to operate
or tow at depth.
Nova Ray’s arcuate wing configuration is remarkably
stable in turbulent currents and provides true axis flight.
There is little tendency for the vehicle to rock in shifting
currents. The wings, combined with other secondary control
surfaces, tend to counter any destabilizing forces. The
close proximity of the thrusters to the control surfaces
allows for very tight maneuvering. The overall result is
an ROV system that can do more and perform where other underwater
systems cannot.
