Miko Marine AS products

The entire process is operated and monitored from a surface laptop. ROV or divers are only used to position the tool on the wreck, open and close the valve and connect hoses if required. Moskito is secured to the hull using three powerful electromagnets. The tripod legs are controlled individually with high precision, allowing the operator to align the machine properly on curved or uneven surfaces. The light-weight umbilical is suitable up to medium water depth, without the need for any tether management system. For larger depths, the Moskito can be run directly via the ROV.

The patented Magnetic Miko Plaster is a magnetic tarpaulin qualified by DNV GL for sealing off sea chests, water inlets and outlets under the water line while the ship is afloat. The seal is achieved by the water pressure coupled with the magnetic adhesion between the patch and the steel surface. The magnetic tarpaulins are designed for long term storage and are not demagnetized after use.

Miko Marine AS has developed the Yacht Salvage Kit in association with Captain Nick Sloane, salvage master and member of the Lloyds Panel of Special Casualty Representatives. Collisions, groundings, explosions and valve failures all have the potential of uncontrolled water ingress. Deploying the Yacht Salve Kit in such a situation, the right patch is selected from the kit and rapidly deployed over the damaged area. Particularly intended for use on super yachts and smaller vessels, the kit contains Miko Marine’s well proven Miko plaster technology for keeping water on the outside and oil on the inside.

The switchable Miko ROV magnet has a fully mechanical on/off function and a holding force of 750 kg* when activated. By virtue of the modular design, the magnet can be tailored to any application. The handles can be replaced to fit all common types of ROV manipulator claws, while the bracket can be replaced by for example a camera or a torch.

MAM-Light is the most compact Miko Anchor Magnet, yet it has a holding force equivalent to the weight of an adult man. Thanks to its handy size and minimal weight, this magnet is easily handled by divers in any situation. The magnetic component consists of neodymium which is coated with epoxy to improve its corrosion resistance in sea water. The magnet is equipped with a breaking lever for easy release and safe operation. All Miko magnets are shipped in a double-skin steel box to isolate the magnetic field and to prepare them for air freight.

Pipe Sealer Kit is a light and rapid tool for stopping high-pressure leakages in pipes.

The Tank Sealer Kit is a quick, easy and flexible first barrier against leakages on storage tanks and oil cisterns. The two sizes of Miko Plaster® included in the kit are fitted with a neoprene sheet in the centre and magnetic nitrile rubber along the edges. The magnetic rubber will adhere to the steel surface of the tank while the soft neoprene centre will seal against the damage, preventing leakage into the environment. External anchor magnets (MAM-003 and MAM-Light) are applied to the outside of the neoprene centre to compress the patch against the damaged area and limit the leakage. The equipment can be used both above and below the waterline.
