Kongsberg Maritime's first uncrewed surface vessel (USV) has just taken to the water for subsea work for Reach Subsea.

Technological innovation within the maritime industry is resulting in rapid developments that will see the commercial use of autonomous ships, whether they are controlled remotely or are fully autonomous. Such change requires robust regulation to ensure the safety of life at sea, as well as of cargo on board and of the vessel itself.

Oceanus12, the first of four USVs, is now ready for integration trials in the port of Plymouth, UK.

NOMARS envisions a cost-effective USV concept for the U.S. Navy through a design philosophy that excludes all crewed features.

Uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) use 95% less fuel than traditional survey vessels.

Spanish shipbuilder Gondan has floated out a new unmanned surface vehicle (USV) ordered by USV AS, a joint venture formed by Norwegian companies DeepOcean, Solstad Offshore, and Østensjø Rederi

Texas-based Saronic Technologies announced Tuesday it raised $600 million in private funding to build an autonomous shipyard it’s calling Port Alpha.
