										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Earlier this year, Sea Machines conducted <strong>Tropical Winter 100</strong>, an autonomy sea trial involving the <strong><a href="https://sea-machines.com/selkie/" type="page" id="14072">SELKIE unmanned surface vessel (USV)</a></strong> operating off<a href="https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2025/06/sea-machines-deploys-selkie-usv-to-the-philippines/" type="link" id="https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2025/06/sea-machines-deploys-selkie-usv-to-the-philippines/"> <strong>Subic Bay</strong></a><strong> in the West Philippine Sea</strong>. </p>



<p>The mission evaluated <strong>autonomous vessel</strong> / <strong>unmanned vessel</strong> operations in the same Indo-Pacific coastal environment where distributed maritime systems could be deployed. The operating area was later used in the distributed maritime autonomy vignette presented during <strong><a href="https://sea-machines.com/sea-machines-selected-to-execute-live-autonomy-vignette-at-creative-disruptors-in-the-desert-2026/" type="link" id="https://sea-machines.com/sea-machines-selected-to-execute-live-autonomy-vignette-at-creative-disruptors-in-the-desert-2026/">Creative Disruptors in the Desert 2026</a></strong>, where U.S. Congressional and DOW stakeholders observed a mission scenario involving a forward-deployed unmanned surface vessel operating off the Philippine coast. </p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Strategic Context in the West Philippine Sea</strong>&nbsp;</h4>



<p>The <strong>West Philippine Sea forms part of the South China Sea</strong>, one of the most contested maritime regions in the Indo-Pacific. Coast guard patrols, maritime militia activity, and territorial disputes have increased demand for<a href="https://sea-machines.com/sm300-ng/" type="page" id="14098"> persistent maritime domain awareness</a> across large coastal areas. For the United States and the Philippines, monitoring activity across these waters requires scalable systems capable of maintaining presence without expanding resources for crewed patrol fleets. <strong>Autonomous vessels</strong> provide a method for increasing range and extending persistent maritime coverage. </p>





<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://sea-machines.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/4-1024x576.png" alt="" class="wp-image-14480" srcset="https://sea-machines.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/4-1024x576.png 1024w, https://sea-machines.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/4-300x169.png 300w, https://sea-machines.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/4-768x432.png 768w, https://sea-machines.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/4-1536x864.png 1536w, https://sea-machines.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/4-600x338.png 600w, https://sea-machines.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/4.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Unmanned Surface Vessel <a href="https://sea-machines.com/selkie/" type="page" id="14072">SELKIE </a>operating in real-world maritime traffic off Botolan, Philippines.</em></p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tropical Winter 100 USV Mission</strong>&nbsp;</h4>



<p><strong>Tropical Winter 100</strong> evaluated SELKIE’s endurance, navigation performance, and autonomous vessel system operation during unmanned operations in Philippine coastal waters. </p>



<p>The mission followed a&nbsp;<strong>100-nautical-mile&nbsp;unmanned&nbsp;route between Subic Bay and the west coast of&nbsp;Botolan</strong>. SELKIE departed Subic Bay&nbsp;as an&nbsp;<strong>unmanned surface vessel</strong>&nbsp;while operators&nbsp;monitored&nbsp;the vessel remotely through the autonomy&nbsp;interface&nbsp;located&nbsp;miles away in Olongapo.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Operating in&nbsp;<strong>Sea State 4</strong>, the&nbsp;<strong>autonomous vessel</strong>&nbsp;maintained&nbsp;a cruising speed of approximately&nbsp;<strong>11 knots</strong>&nbsp;with sprint speeds of up to 30&nbsp;knots,&nbsp;and&nbsp;completed the mission over&nbsp;roughly&nbsp;<strong>13&nbsp;hours</strong>. During the&nbsp;voyage&nbsp;the&nbsp;<strong>USV</strong>&nbsp;executed&nbsp;long range&nbsp;autonomous route following&nbsp;while autonomously tracking and trailing potential vessels of interest, in addition to&nbsp;obstacle detection, and collision avoidance while navigating through typical coastal vessel traffic near the approach to Subic Bay.&nbsp;</p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>USV Operations in the Indo-Pacific</strong>&nbsp;</h4>



<p><strong>Tropical Winter 100</strong> demonstrated how <strong>unmanned surface vessels </strong> can operate in real maritime traffic and environmental conditions in the Indo-Pacific. Conducted in the same waters later used during the Creative Disruptors in the Desert vignette, the mission showed how <strong>USVs</strong> can support persistent maritime domain awareness and distributed maritime operations in regions such as the <strong>West Philippine Sea</strong>. </p>



<p></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What’s Next</strong>&nbsp;</h4>



<p><a href="https://sea-machines.com/selkie/" type="page" id="14072">SELKIE</a> will continue field demonstrations over the coming months, including integration of mission payloads, effectors, and command-and-control (C2) interfaces across customer use cases. These efforts are focused on expanding operational capability and validating system performance across a broader set of mission profiles. </p>



<p>For organizations evaluating unmanned surface vessel (USV) capability for maritime operations, Sea Machines is engaging with partners to&nbsp;demonstrate&nbsp;how autonomous vessel systems can be applied in operational contexts.&nbsp;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>Sea Machines was selected among a limited group of companies to execute a live maritime autonomy vignette at Creative Disruptors in the Desert 2026 in La Quinta, California. </strong></p>



<p>Hosted by the Creative&nbsp;Defense&nbsp;Foundation in collaboration with AUVSI, the event&nbsp;convened&nbsp;senior Department of&nbsp;Defense&nbsp;leadership, acquisition executives, Congressional&nbsp;defense&nbsp;appropriators, and industry leaders to evaluate mature, deployable technologies shaping the future of American&nbsp;defense&nbsp;capability.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Sea Machines’ role formed part of a multi-domain&nbsp;vignette integrating eight advanced autonomy and sensing companies into a unified mission narrative spanning land, air, and sea.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Live Indo-Pacific Autonomy Demonstration</strong>&nbsp;</h4>



<p>Within that broader scenario, Sea Machines executed a live distributed maritime operation connecting a forward-deployed unmanned surface vessel in the Philippines with operators&nbsp;in La Quinta&nbsp;trailing and&nbsp;prosecuting&nbsp;a suspicious contact&nbsp;outside Subic Bay,&nbsp;while&nbsp;stakeholders&nbsp;observed&nbsp;live&nbsp;in California.&nbsp;</p>



<p>From within the United States, operators&nbsp;coordinated&nbsp;command&nbsp;of&nbsp;the vessel in real time as mission control was transitioned&nbsp;between ground stations in La Quinta,&nbsp;CA&nbsp;and Subic Bay.&nbsp;The SM300 software is also capable of “intercept”&nbsp;behavior, whereby&nbsp;operators can command the vessel&nbsp;to&nbsp;autonomously&nbsp;calculate and execute a converging course against a moving contact, dynamically adapting to target&nbsp;maneuvering&nbsp;and surrounding maritime traffic while&nbsp;maintaining&nbsp;collision avoidance and navigational compliance.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Drop in Autonomy Kits&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</h4>



<p>The Sea Machines solution showcased is operationally ready and actively available for deployment. Designed and engineered by Sea Machines, the drop in autonomy kit provides end users a rapid capability to convert existing boats with Sea Machines tech within 10-20 hours. The pre-rigged kits reduce field engineering requirements.</p>



<p>The demonstration highlighted:&nbsp;</p>



<p>• Secure remote supervisory control across long-distance links&nbsp;</p>



<p>• Objective-based mission execution rather than direct teleoperation&nbsp;</p>



<p>• Real-time&nbsp;perception, navigation, and collision avoidance&nbsp;</p>



<p>• Immediate re-tasking with dynamic route recalculation&nbsp;</p>



<p>• Scalable control of distributed unmanned maritime assets&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why It Matters</strong>&nbsp;</h4>



<p>Operational vignettes such as those executed at Disruptors in the Desert provide government stakeholders with direct exposure to live systems&nbsp;operating&nbsp;within realistic mission contexts. These are not conceptual briefings. They are demonstrations of integrated capability under operational narrative.&nbsp;</p>



<p>By controlling a forward-deployed vessel in the Indo-Pacific from within the United States, Sea Machines&nbsp;demonstrated&nbsp;a scalable model for distributed maritime operations. This approach expands operational reach, reduces risk to crewed platforms, and enables persistent presence without proportional&nbsp;manpower&nbsp;growth.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As global maritime competition intensifies, American advantage depends on fielded, interoperable systems that are ready to deploy and scale. The autonomy&nbsp;demonstrated&nbsp;in La Quinta reflects a mature, operational capability engineered to support U.S. and allied maritime missions wherever distributed unmanned presence is&nbsp;required.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Carved from the shipbuilding space in 2015, Sea Machines Robotics has spent the past decade developing and deploying the world’s leading marine autonomy across fleets operating on most oceans. Over that period, the company has invested more than $55 million in venture-backed capital to develop, field, and harden a fully integrated autonomy stack. This investment addressed one of the most technically complex challenge of unmanned surface vessels such as Modular Attack Surface Combatant (MASC): reliable software–hardware integration at scale. Having completed the difficult work up front, Sea Machines is now positioned to rapidly integrate <a href="https://sea-machines.com/sm300-ng/" type="page" id="14098">mature, field-proven autonomy</a> into purpose-built autonomous platforms. Today, the company applies its deep shipbuilding roots to deliver a purpose-built autonomous surface ship engineered for modern naval operations. </p>



<p>Introducing the STEAMRACER-class autonomous surface ship, purpose-built to meet the Navy’s immediate and future fleet requirements for fully unmanned maritime operations. Designed around our hardened, AI-enabled remote command architecture, the platform delivers high speed, extended endurance, modular open-deck payload capacity, and a secure onboard data environment to support distributed operations at scale.&nbsp;</p>



<p>While engineered from&nbsp;inception&nbsp;for persistent unmanned execution, STEAMRACER retains the flexibility to&nbsp;operate&nbsp;in a limited, short-duration&nbsp;manned&nbsp;configuration when mission requirements dictate –&nbsp;providing operational flexibility without compromising its unmanned-first design.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Florida-forged, STEAMRACER integrates mature autonomy with proven U.S. shipbuilding capacity through partnerships with <a href="https://www.stjohnsshipbuilding.com/" type="link" id="https://www.stjohnsshipbuilding.com/">St. Johns Ship Building</a>,<a href="https://www.toteservices.com/" type="link" id="https://www.toteservices.com/">&nbsp;TOTE Services</a>, <a href="https://www.ringpower.com/" type="link" id="https://www.ringpower.com/">Ring Power</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.incatcrowther.com/" type="link" id="https://www.incatcrowther.com/">Incat&nbsp;Crowther</a>, and <a href="https://www.emi-marine.com/" type="link" id="https://www.emi-marine.com/">EMI-W&amp;O</a> reinforcing the President’s Executive Order to restore American maritime dominance and strengthen the domestic industrial base. To meet the Navy’s resilient and robust communications standards, <a href="https://www.sncorp.com/" type="link" id="https://www.sncorp.com/">Sierra Nevada Corporation</a> will provide its Maritime Advanced Secure Transmission (MAST) solution, an open, scalable architecture backed by proven secure communications and cybersecurity expertise.</p>



<p>Aligned with Navy leadership’s call to<a href="https://www.workboat.com/the-navy-is-moving-fast-to-deploy-uncrewed-fleets?utm_source=chatgpt.com" type="link" id="https://www.workboat.com/the-navy-is-moving-fast-to-deploy-uncrewed-fleets?utm_source=chatgpt.com"> expand MUSV production</a>, accelerate the scaling of unmanned capability, and rapidly field maritime robotic and autonomous systems,&nbsp;STEAMRACER delivers a ready-now, America-First solution. The defining attribute:&nbsp;PROVEN&nbsp;capability. STEAMRACER&nbsp;provides&nbsp;validated unmanned-first capability that is operationally tested, industrially grounded, strategically aligned, and prepared to scale at the pace&nbsp;required&nbsp;for the Indo-Pacific fight.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In an era defined by America’s pacing-threat competition with China, our Nation and our Navy cannot afford protracted development programs that delay transition, escalate cost, and&nbsp;fail to&nbsp;field capability. The strategic environment demands operational mass, speed, and scale, not prolonged development without delivery.&nbsp;Others prototype. We deliver proven autonomy at the pace&nbsp;required&nbsp;for deterrence in the Indo-Pacific,&nbsp;or wherever in the world it will be needed.&nbsp;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Sea Machines Robotics is proud to supply the SM300 Autonomous Command and Control system for the Autonomous Low-Profile Vessel (ALPV) program, developed by Leidos and Gibbs &amp; Cox, a subsidiary of Leidos. It has been an honor to contribute to this strategic initiative supporting the U.S. Marine Corps in advancing uncrewed surface logistics in high-threat maritime environments.</p>



<p>The ALPV, also known as the Sea Specter, is a 65-foot (19.75-meter) semi-submersible unmanned surface vessel (USV) engineered for stealth logistics operations. Drawing design inspiration from low-profile, narcotics-smuggling craft, the ALPV offers extremely low visual, radar, and infrared signatures, making it an ideal platform for contested maritime zones. The vessel’s form factor and semi-submersibility enable discreet transport of high-value payloads with minimal detectability.</p>



<p>The vessel can carry between 2,000 and 4,627 kilograms of cargo over distances up to 2,200 nautical miles (4,074 km) at a cruising speed of 14.8 km/h, powered by a 230-horsepower Cummins diesel engine. The internal payload compartment spans 8.84 m in length, offering substantial volume for military resupply or mission equipment.</p>



<p>Sea Machines was selected following evaluation as the supplier of autonomous command and control capabilities for the ALPV, via our SM300 Autonomous Command and Control system. This system enables long-range, line-of-sight and over-the-horizon remote operations, autonomous navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness in contested environments. These capabilities are essential for a vessel intended to operate far from support in communications denied environments or high-risk maritime zones.</p>



<p>The ALPV has undergone extensive field testing since 2023, evaluated in Project Convergence Capstone 4, a major joint and multinational exercise hosted by the U.S. Army.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Sea Machines is proud to contribute proven autonomy solutions to this advanced platform and remains committed to supporting the U.S. Marine Corps&#8217; evolving needs for operational resilience, logistics reach, and unmanned capability in peer-contested domains.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><em>The seminar is the first maritime autonomy training program to allow the federal workforce to train on state-of-the-art, commercial, off-the-shelf autonomous technologies.​​​​​​​​</em></p>
<p>(BOSTON; October 17, 2022) – <a href="https://sea-machines.com/" data-wpel-link="internal"><strong>Sea Machines Robotics</strong>’</a> in partnership with <a href="https://www.usm.edu/ocean-enterprise/index.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener external noreferrer" data-wpel-link="external"><strong>The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) Roger F. Wicker Center for Ocean Enterprise</strong></a> in Gulfport, Miss. has developed the Maritime Autonomy Operational Seminar through USM’s Center of Higher Learning at the John C. Stennis Space Center.</p>
<p>Participants plan missions that transform USM’s R/V Ken Barbor, from a crewed to an uncrewed system designed to operate in various conditions, from shallow embayment with significant currents out to the open ocean. Learners will obtain an overview of maritime autonomy, how to use mission simulators, and deploy and operate uncrewed systems safely in coastal areas.</p>
<p>USM is a global leader in uncrewed maritime systems certifications. The five-week Uncrewed Maritime Systems Tier 1 and Tier 2 Certification Classes offered by USM’s School of Ocean Science and Engineering have been a fantastic success for NOAA, USACE, and NAVOCEANO employees at Stennis Space Center.</p>
<p>The addition of the Maritime Autonomy Operational Seminar builds on the tradition of success established by these academic credit classes as well as Ocean Enterprise’s Stennis-based operational seminars (Maritime Cyber, Maritime Data Analysis, and Maritime Uncrewed Systems).</p>
<p>“By being very surgical and designing for enrollment in multiple sessions with adaptable content, we believe we can rapidly reach hundreds of potential learners, especially transitioning military personnel looking to enter the uncrewed systems field for the first time,” said Dr. Jason McKenna, Director of RDT&amp;E and Training for the Roger F. Wicker Center for Ocean Enterprise at USM. “Furthermore, this new eight-hour self-paced/eight-hour in-person operational seminar Ocean Enterprise is offered through CHL and complements our three existing operational seminars by providing hands-on training for those interested in exploring maritime autonomous technology.</p>
<p>Added McKenna: “By getting some ‘stick time,’ on a state-of-the-art optionally crewed vessel, federal employees will be better prepared to integrate uncrewed autonomous capabilities into their fleet.”</p>
<p>The Mississippi Gulf Coast is the home to significant operations of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Navy, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). As a result, it provides numerous opportunities for collaboration between USM, Government, and industry.</p>
<p>“NOAA is highly supportive of USM’s workforce development efforts, specifically focused on uncrewed maritime systems (UMS). We partner with USM’s Roger F. Wicker Center for Ocean Enterprise on several projects, and we believe that offering these types of very hands-on, short-duration training to the federal community along the Gulf Coast will help meet the real, growing need for this workforce development in this area both regionally and nationally,” said Philip Hoffman, Uncrewed Maritime Systems R&amp;D Coordinator for NOAA Ocean Exploration.</p>
<p>Matthew Thompson, Technical Lead, Hydrographic Department, Naval Oceanographic Office, notes that opportunities provided by USM’s Roger F. Wicker Center for Ocean Enterprise are enabling his team to field more efficient and effective operational capabilities in support of U.S. interests.</p>
<p>“As the Naval Oceanographic Office continues pursuit of Uncrewed Maritime Systems (UMS) for oceanographic and seafloor characterization, it is critical that we collaborate with academia, industry and other federal organizations to advance technology and expertise,” said Thompson.</p>
<p>Erik Hedval, Business Development Manager – Government, Sea Machines Robotics, points out that working with USM has been a logical and important next step for Sea Machines as the demand for operator training increases.</p>
<p>“The adoption of autonomous systems continues to grow in the government and commercial sectors, and it is important to us to help support the infrastructure surrounding it with the appropriate education and tools,” said Hedval.</p>
<p>Hedval continued: “Sea Machines various teams are comprised of several Mariners and Captains, so we understand the real-world applications and benefits in terms of productivity and safety and are excited to continue to expand this knowledge with USM.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>From <a href="https://www.workboat.com/international-workboat-show/workboat-2021-think-tank-autonomous-systems-continue-to-advance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WorkBoat Magazine</a>:</strong></p>
<p>Autonomous systems are growing in the maritime industry, offering benefits in efficiency and safety as sensor and control systems are integrated, expert panelists explained at Wednesday’s <strong>International WorkBoat Show</strong>.</p>
<p>“Autonomy in general is moving our industry into where it needs to be for the 21st century,” said Michael Gordon Johnson, CEO and founder of <strong>Sea Machines</strong>, a builder of autonomous vessel systems.</p>
<p>Now established in missions including survey work and guard duty, “now you’ll see it moving into other areas,” said Johnson. “Tugs is one area where there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit” – benefits to be gained by incorporating autonomous functions, he said.</p>
<p>Two years ago, propulsion supplier <strong>Hamilton Jet</strong> had systems on 50 autonomous vessels. The tally is now up to 200, “with another 200 in the pipeline,” said Tom Latham, general manager Americas with Hamilton Jet. “That’s the big difference,” adoption.”</p>
<p>Autonomy can create some new jobs in the maritime sector, panelists said.</p>
<p>“People associate autonomy with un-crewed,” said Olivier Cadet, senior vice president global operations for<strong> Kongsberg Maritime </strong>Inc. But “a human is in the loop,” from system design to operations and troubleshooting,” said Cadet.</p>
<p>“I saw the need to do this” with bringing in software engineers from other industries to join Sea Machines’ maritime projects, said Johnson. Now software specialists are working with traditional maritime trades, as when Sea Machines mounted its latest autonomous “odyssey,” a 1,000-mile voyage steering a tug around Denmark with help of maritime union members, said Johnson.</p>
<p>Recent growth and trends show autonomous systems making clear gains in “skipper assist” roles, said Latham.</p>
<p>Vessel crews “have so much work to do, they (operators) would rather have them doing that than staring out a window,” said Johnson.</p>
<p>Building safety and reliability into navigation systems means layering ship sensors – a vessel’s autonomous eyes and ears – into “domain awareness,” Johnson explained.</p>
<p>With 25 operators now using Sea Machines systems, there have been no major challenges from regulators. Johnson said autonomy is moving into a “common-technology adoption cycle,” with widening acceptance of a once-exotic concept – similar to how the advent of dynamic positioning for drilling vessels enabled deepwater oil production.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Marine News named Foss Maritime's Rachael Allen, equipped with Sea Machines Robotics’ SM300 autonomous-command and -control system, as one of its top boats of the year.</p>
<p>The post <a href="https://sea-machines.com/marine-news-top-boats-of-2021/">Marine News&#8217; Top Boats of 2021</a> appeared first on <a href="https://sea-machines.com">Sea Machines Robotics</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>From <a href="https://www.marinelink.com/news/marine-news-top-boats-492294" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marine News</a>:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Delivered in June, the newly built 90-ton bollard pull <em>Rachael Allen</em>—the fourth in a series of ASD-90 Z-drive tractor tugs built at <strong>Nichols Brothers Boat Builders</strong>, in Freeland, Wash.—features <strong>Sea Machines Robotics</strong>’ SM300 autonomous-command and -control system. The system’s capabilities include transit autonomy, as well as remote access of the tugboat’s onboard machinery, a feature that allows personnel to manage and support operations from anywhere on board the vessel or from shore. Navigation obstacle detection and avoidance capabilities also come standard.</p>
<p>Tapping into the remote command and control capabilities, <strong>Foss</strong> will use its existing Fleet Monitoring Center personnel to monitor the tugboat’s systems and operating domain via streaming video and sensor data. According to Foss and Sea Machines, the system enables an extra set of eyes and hands to have access to vessel command and control, allowing Foss and the <em>Rachael Allen</em> crew to maximize productive time, safety and crew welfare</p>
<p>“While we are not working on a fully autonomous tug, [the Sea Machines systems] allow our crews to use autonomous features to make their jobs safer. Our mariners are the key to our success, and we believe the Sea Machines products will help them carry out their day to day operations,” said Will Roberts, president, Foss Maritime.</p>
<p>The <em>Rachael Allen</em> has been delivered with the SM300 and supporting hardware fully integrated, but the capability of the technology will be activated in stepped phases over the course of six to nine months to ensure full visibility and acceptance from all operational stakeholders. “Our work toward integrating the autonomous controls . . .  continues with our partners at Sea Machines, the U.S. Coast Guard and ABS,” Roberts said. “As a safety enhancement that incorporates new and novel technology, we are testing out a tool to support our crews, which comes from a system processing digital information to enhance safety of navigation. We are excited about the tools this system brings to our mariners in their service of our customers. We will work closely with regulatory agencies and third-party auditors to thoroughly vet the system as we continue to move toward full operational use of the SM300 on board.”</p>
<p><strong>Michael G. Johnson</strong>, Sea Machines founder and CEO, said, “While our space has seen a number of government-innovation backed prototype initiatives for autonomous tugs in Europe, Japan and Singapore, it’s notable that Foss is launching the first commercially funded project in U.S. waters.</p>
<p>“Our technology has been in use aboard commercial vessels around the world for nearly three years and is backed up by thousands of hours of testing and validation. This is yet another real-world example of how Sea Machines autonomy is reshaping the way work is being done by vessel crews on the water.”</p>
<p>Sea Machines noted the <em>Rachael Allen</em> project marks its first installation of an autonomy system on a vessel over 5,000 horsepower. Designed by Jensen Maritime Consultants, the 100- by 40-foot tractor tug will be able to escort the largest tankers and containerships calling the U.S. West Coast ports that it will serve. The vessel is outfitted with two MTU Series 16v4000M65L EPA Tier 4 main engines, producing 6,866 horsepower and coupled to Kongsberg US255 azimuth thrusters.</p>
<p>The MTU selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system provides optimization of the engine delivering improved efficiencies, fuel consumption is reduced by 8% at full power and 14-22% over a wider operating range compared to previous MTU engines in this power range. The MTU engine and SCR are designed with a high focus on noise reduction, standard features such as resilient mounting, turbocharger air intake silencers and the SCR insulation and noise abatement, all combined to produce noise levels throughout the vessel without any traditional exhaust silencers. The MTU engines are also equipped with MTU Go, a MTU digital monitoring system and service that allows continuous monitoring of the engines including all engine parameters and alarms, with trending and broadcast of engine alarms through the MTU Go App.</p>
<p><em>Rachael Allen</em> is outfitted with Mackay Marine Electronics, and towing equipment consists of a Markey DEPGF-52R winch with 750 feet of 10-inch synthetic line on the bow and a Markey DEPC-32 stern winch with 250 feet of 6.5-inch circumference line on the stern. The tug is built to U.S. Coast Guard Subchapter “M” regulatory standards, with ABS loadline certification and UWILD notation.&#8221;</p>

<p>Two key article takeaways:</p>
<ul>
<li>There’s growing interest in the possibilities of robot boats.</li>
<li>Robot boats could be more fuel-efficient and safer than traditional boats.</li>
</ul>
<p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-19" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html">Lifewire writes, &#8220;There&#8217;s a growing interest in autonomous boats, mirroring the burgeoning field of autonomous land vehicles. Sea Machines Robotics, for example, is working on technology that will provide autonomous ships to commercial operators and recreational users. <a href="https://www.professionalmariner.com/sea-machines-hires-moran-david-as-chief-commercial-officer/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="externalLink" data-ordinal="1">Moran David</a>, the company&#8217;s chief commercial officer, told Lifewire:</p>

<p>Sea Machines had the opportunity to exhibit during this year&#8217;s Europort, held in Rotterdam, from November 2 through 5, 2021. A special highlight included Frank Relou&#8217;s presentation on the first day of the event, from the Innovation Stage, which addressed our industry-leading autonomous marine technology. The presentation summary is as follows:</p>
<p><em>The need for advanced autonomy in marine applications has grown considerably in the past decade. A number of high-profile incidents have shown how human error can have serious consequences and consequently highlighted how the state of the art in autonomous technology can help prevent these incidents from occurring in the future. The purpose of the presentation is to create awareness around autonomous and unmanned operations, how they mitigate risk on our seas, and increase the operational efficiency and bottom line of operators. Manual operations are still plaguing the industry, while the technology to move the industry forward exists. To understand how Sea Machines is enabling this today, we dive into the technology employed and SM series.</em></p>
