Uncrewed surface vessels: taking the human element – and cost and emissions – out of the loop

Uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) have many potential advantages in the offshore oil and gas and wind industries, as industry leading companies have been quick to realise. Several USVs are due to enter service by the end of 2020 and have already been extensively tested at sea. Originally designed primarily for survey operations, they are also being proposed for offshore logistics and a range of other tasks such as acting as guard vessels. Able to conduct surveys themselves, they can also deploy ROVs and AUVs, reduce costs significantly and help decarbonise vessel operations. Designed to be at least as capable – and potentially more capable – than crewed vessels, they also offer the opportunity to increase the weather window for survey operations compared to crewed vessels.

1. The weakest link in remote USV/ROV operations is the high level of maintenance that ROVs typically need. How are the presenters getting around this weak link?

2. To what extent do AUTs replace conventional vessels today?

3. Collision avoidance: How do you deal with floating and submerged collision risks with unmmaned vessels (UFOs and mooring lines for example)?
