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.
