On June 4, 2025, Saab UK announced the sale and delivery of a Seaeye Panther XTP remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to CCC Underwater Engineering S.A.L. (CCCUE).
The delivery, completed in January 2025, replaces CCCUE’s Panther 905, which had been in service since 2001.
This acquisition follows CCCUE’s integration of another Panther XTP into its fleet in 2023.
Tavis Letherby, CCCUE’s Survey/ROV Manager, stated: “We have worked with Saab Seaeye vehicles for more than two decades, and their reliability has been central to our operations. The Panther XTP’s proven performance, combined with its user-friendly design, makes it an ideal fit for the complex demands of our projects.”

We’re proud to support CCCUE’s mission with reliable, high-performance vehicles that meet the real-world demands of global offshore operations.”
The Panther XTP is designed for offshore inspection and intervention tasks, capable of operating in challenging conditions.
