Mapping the sea often involves huge research vessels that are financially and environmentally costly. But Irish startup XOCEAN has floated an alternative - it says its crewless vessels emit 1,000 times less carbon than traditional ocean survey ships.
London Ocean-based industries are growing fast, boosting demand for data on conditions at sea. But the huge research vessels that typically map the seas often come at great financial and environmental cost.
Irish startup XOCEAN has floated an alternative. Its uncrewed surface vessels — about the size of an average car and half the weight — are fitted with sensors that collect ocean data and send it via satellite to experts on shore. The company says it improves safety, while cutting the cost and emissions of ocean surveying. According to XOCEAN, its USVs emit 1,000-times less carbon than traditional research vessels.
