with a full-scale prototype trial offshore in Canada, deploying an ROV from an autonomous submersible mothership platform and controlling the system from shore in what is believed to be a world-first demonstration."The deployment of ROVs has not changed in the last 40 years of the offshore energy industry with large, crewed, fossil fuel powered surface vessels typically used to transport vehicles to worksites. By removing the need for surface ships, the Loggerhead all-electric uncrewed system has the potential to vastly reduce the emissions, cost and risk of underwater robotics operations. Per
