Key Insights From This Episode:
- We specialise in the development and deployment of innovative tech. And ultimately what we're looking to do is to transform the maritime industry to enable the people and planet to thrive. - Andy
- We have signed the climate pledge, to be net zero by 2040, 10 years ahead of the general target of 2050. - Andy
- We are currently building the world's largest fleet of unmanned surface vessels, and that's the largest fleet in terms of size of the vessel and in the number of vessels. - Andy
- We've committed to remote survey operations from day one, the technology exists to go totally unmanned. But what we need to do, and what we are doing is working very closely with regulators to work towards that transition to complete unmanned operations for that size of vessel. - Andy
- We think that most, if not all activities offshore can be made cleaner, more efficient and/or safer through the deployment of robotics. - Andy
