OceanAlpha has launched a year-long showcase of its unmanned surface vessels (USVs) across the Middle East region, beginning in Doha, Qatar.
The company’s tour will feature a range of uncrewed vessels, including the M75 uncrewed patrol vessel, the L25 uncrewed marine survey vessel, the SE40 uncrewed water sampling and monitoring vessel, and the Dolphin 3 intelligent remote-controlled lifebuoy.
This initiative is designed to offer potential users an in-depth, hands-on experience with OceanAlpha’s advanced USV products, solutions and applications.
The tour will kick off in Qatar, with the M75 as the centerpiece. From December 22 to December 31, 2024, the company will demonstrate the M75’s capabilities at the Doha’s nearshore water. Designed to handle the demanding conditions of offshore oil and gas platforms, the M75 features a robust design and advanced autonomous navigation technology, allowing for remote operation that minimizes personnel exposure and significantly reduces operational costs.
The showcase will specifically target the offshore oil and gas sector, offshore wind sector, marine survey companies, maritime enforcement authorities, and fishery management departments.
Attendees will have the opportunity to see the OceanAlpha’s USVs in action, participate in hands-on trials, and engage with the company’s technical team to explore tailored solutions for seabed mapping, pipeline inspection, offshore wind asset management, and maritime security.
Pinestone Shi, General Manager of OceanAlpha, said; “We are extremely excited to introduce our innovative uncrewed marine technology to the Middle East. The region’s thriving maritime market and challenging environments provide the perfect backdrop to showcase the performance of our vessels. Our goal is to engage with industry professionals, address their specific needs, and demonstrate how our USVs can enhance the operational efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability.”
Following OceanAlpha’s Qatar event, its USVs will tour other Gulf countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain, with themed exhibitions scheduled based on user’s interest and appointments.
