Apart from its proven reliability, operators find a key advantage of the Falcon’s iCON intelligent power and control architecture, is its high maneuverability and steadiness in strong crosscurrents, whilst undertaking exacting tasks with steadiness and precision.

Film-Ocean’s latest Falcon comes complete with a running lock latch system and a TriTech Sonar.
