me that their team and technology can make significant contributions to the security and sustainability of our oceans. Traditional marine vessels used for studying and monitoring the oceans are not only limited by access points but also leave a substantial carbon footprint. Cellula's trusted autonomous solutions operate with net-zero carbon emissions, require minimal in-field crew thanks to port-to-port operations and are ideal for long-range under ice operations. Cellula stands as a seasoned market disrupter in this field, harnessing unparalleled opportunities presented by this groundbreaking technology

Energy @ Sea: Powering Up in the Blue Desert

creating an Internet of Things on land. There are fewer than 10,000 in the ocean. Why is that?” Lesemann posed. “We all know the ocean is a difficult, expensive and complex work environment. Every time you want to do anything, you have to take people and power offshore. This begs for autonomous solutions; it begs for the Internet of Ocean Things.” The ocean, unsurprisingly, is a power desert. Where there is no power, there’s no energy or data. C-Power believes that once power is supplied to the seas, everything else will fall into line: “All of the trends toward digitization
