FIFISH X1 — Industrial Offshore Inspection & NDT ROV
The FIFISH X1 is QYSEA’s flagship industrial mission ROV, purpose-built for offshore inspection, non-destructive testing and heavy-duty subsea operations. It pairs a six-motor vector platform and dual Q-DVL sensors with U-INS Plus AI navigation to hold station in currents up to 4 knots, while a 15 kg modular payload bay and direct-power cable enable continuous, tool-rich work on oil & gas structures, offshore wind foundations, hulls and pipelines.
FIFISH X1: Advanced Offshore Wind Foundation & NDT Inspection Workflow
Engineered for Offshore Inspection & NDT
AI Inertial Navigation
The U-INS Plus fused navigation system combines forward- and downward-facing Q-DVL modules with AI to deliver stable current resistance, real-time depth control, 3D route planning and point marking — making complex subsea inspections smarter, more intuitive and repeatable.
AI Non-Destructive Measurement
The AI-driven QY-MT system uses proprietary vision algorithms for millimetre-accurate measurement of offshore structures, subsea pipeline cracks, bridge scour and hull-coating damage. Offline data capture enables one-click, non-destructive measurements that set a global benchmark for underwater inspection.
AI Collision Avoidance
Forward and downward collision-avoidance sensors scan the surroundings in real time to prevent impacts, with a customisable avoidance distance for safe navigation around complex platforms, jackets and subsea structures.
360° Vector Propulsion
A proprietary six-motor vector layout delivers full 360° omnidirectional control with ±0.1° angle precision and stable hovering in currents up to 4 knots — the power and poise demanded by open-water offshore work.
High Payload, Versatile Applications
Four Q-interface power ports and a 15 kg maximum payload let the X1 carry demanding inspection and intervention tool sets simultaneously, adapting to a wide range of offshore engineering tasks.
1+N Modular NDT & Tool Skids
A modular payload design enables rapid tool changes and integration in under five minutes. The X1 is compatible with a broad range of non-destructive testing tools, manipulators and imaging sonars for maritime and offshore environments.
All-in-One Mission Controller
A one-stop information controller unifies live video, sonar, mapping and payload tool windows on a single screen, with mission-log voice memos and real-time data synchronisation. A direct-power cable supply removes battery limits for continuous 24/7 operation on long-duration tasks.
Direct Power Supply — Uninterrupted 24/7 Operation
FIFISH X1 uses a direct power cable supply, removing battery limitations and enabling continuous 24/7 operation. Ideal for long-duration, high-intensity tasks and continuous monitoring, while reducing costs related to operational interruptions and battery replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FIFISH X1 used for?
It is an industrial mission ROV for offshore inspection and non-destructive testing — oil & gas structures, offshore wind foundations, FPSOs, ship hulls, and subsea foundations & pipelines.
Can it perform NDT UT, CP and cleaning?
Yes. Via its 1+N modular tool skids the X1 carries an Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge (UT scan), a Cathodic Protection (CP) tool, multi-parameter sensors and a water-jet cleaner — swappable in under five minutes — alongside manipulators and imaging sonar.
How deep can it operate?
The X1 is rated to 350 m operating depth, covering the majority of offshore scenarios.
How does it hold position in current?
A six-motor vector layout with forward and downward Q-DVL and U-INS Plus navigation keeps it stable while hovering in currents up to 4 knots, with AI collision avoidance for safety around structures.
Battery or cable powered?
The X1 uses a direct-power cable supply for uninterrupted 24/7 operation with no battery-capacity limit, ideal for long-duration, high-intensity tasks; a swappable battery is optional.
