Why choose the Typhoon
Take the Risk Out of Launch and Recovery
Mobilise Quickly and Deploy Without Snags
Built for Marine Service, Designed by Operators
Typhoon pairs operator-led design with marine-grade construction to deliver controlled, repeatable launch and recovery for observation-class ROVs. From snag-free tether handling to certified loads and serviceable internals, every feature has been shaped by real subsea operations, not just the drawing board.
A guided latch and bullet system keeps the tether under control through every launch and recovery, removing the snags, kinks and unwanted swing that cost time on deck.
Switch between automatic and manual release to suit sea state, obstructions and operator preference — putting the crew in full control of every deployment.
A sprung internal latch holds the bullet securely until the operator chooses to release it, preventing premature disengagement in heavy swell or restricted launch points.
A 316 stainless steel body paired with a titanium bullet is engineered for corrosion resistance, durability and a long working life in demanding offshore environments.
Light enough to ship as part of routine project kit, Typhoon mobilises anywhere in the world without the cost and lead time of containerised launch and recovery systems.
Field-serviceable parts and dedicated Standard or Advanced spares kits keep Typhoon working hard year after year, with minimal time out of service.
Designed to DNV standards and load-tested to twice the working limit — supplied UKCA and CE approved, with construction aligned to IMCA and Lloyd's Register expectations.
Â
Backed by Atlantas Marine's training, maintenance and technical support — so customers get more than a product, they get a partner with hands-on operational experience.
Â
Accepts tethers up to Ø17 mm, making it suitable for the inspection-class ROVs most commonly used across offshore renewables, defence, nuclear and infrastructure work.
Â
Engineered, manufactured and tested by Atlantas Marine in Yeovil, with full technical and aftersales support from the team that designed it.

Launch and recovery you can trust, wherever you deploy
Typhoon is built around the realities of working offshore. Marine-grade materials, operator-friendly controls and an inbuilt fail-safe give crews complete confidence in every launch and recovery, from a calm harbour to a moving deck in heavy swell.
316 Stainless Steel Latch Body: Corrosion-resistant body built for long offshore service life.
Tether Guide: Keeps the tether under control — no snags, no swing.
Internal Fail-Safe Mechanism: Sprung latch prevents premature release in heavy swell.
Manual Release Line: 20m release line gives full operator control over disengagement.
Titanium Bullet: Lightweight, low-drag bullet. Supports 500 kg WLL
Dyneema Strop: High-strength, low-stretch link between bullet and ROV.
Simple Open-and-Close Action: Pin-and-clip locking means rapid deck setup, every time
A tether-guided launch and recovery latch that makes deploying observation-class ROVs faster, safer and snag-free — in any sea state, from any deck.
Lightweight enough to ship as routine kit, ready to mobilise anywhere in the world.
316 stainless steel body and titanium bullet — built for corrosion resistance and long offshore service.
Field-serviceable components and dedicated spares kits keep Typhoon working hard with minimal downtime.
Switch between automatic and manual release to suit sea state and operator preference.
Built by a team that uses ROV launch and recovery equipment in the field every day.
A single pin and R-Clip opens and locks the latch around the tether in seconds.
Take divers out of the equation and put the operator in full control of every launch and recovery.
Faster mobilisation, smoother handling and snag-free deployment add up to real hours saved offshore.
Two operating modes adapt to calm conditions, heavy swell or obstructed launch points alike.
