Ocean Infinity’s NeedleFish USV Enters Service for Kuwaiti Coast Guard
U.S. marine robotics company Ocean Infinity has launched its NeedleFish uncrewed surface vessel (USV), which will be used by the Kuwaiti Coast Guard (KCG).Initiated to be a component of its new national integrated maritime surveillance system being delivered by SRT Marine Systems, the NeedleFish by Ocean Infinity is custom equipped with an array of specialist maritime surveillance sensor systems.It leverages the company’s software, advanced robotics, and marine intelligence technology to equip the KCG with a new class of unmanned patrol, surveillance, mapping and surveying capability for its 11
Search for MH370 Suspended Due to Bad Weather
minister, quoted by state news agency Bernama, did not say why such a prolonged delay was required. In the southern hemisphere, it is now autumn and poor wintry conditions are then expected to predominate for several months.The exploration company charged with searching for the wreckage of the plane, Ocean Infinity, did not immediately respond to a request for comment."I think right now it's not the season. I think they (Ocean Infinity) have stopped the operation for the time being and will resume the search at the end of this year," Transport Minister Loke was quoted by Bernama as saying

, and structural engineering.His passion for marine robotics led him to become a Chartered Engineer and establish ASV Ltd, a pioneering company in the development and construction of unmanned surface vessels. Following the sale of ASV Ltd to L3 Harris, Dan served as Chief Technology Officer at Ocean Infinity for four years. He now leads RAD Propulsion, a company dedicated to advancing technology for electric and smart boats.In addition to his industry roles, Dan has contributed significantly to marine science as a Non-Executive Director of the National Oceanography Centre over the past six years
SHIPWRECK PODCAST: Exploring USS Stewart with James Delgado
Navy destroyer USS Stewart. Stewart was a century-old US Navy destroyer that earned the unenviable distinction of serving under both American and Japanese flags during World War II. This groundbreaking discovery was made off the coast of northern California on a collaborative expedition between Ocean Infinity, the Air/Sea Heritage Foun-dation, SEARCH, NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, and the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC).We also get a bird’s-eye view of what Jim’s everyday work looks like. After 46+ years in the trenches, he has a lot to say. From constantly

resident deployment and over-the-horizon control.The all-electric vehicle, which uses limited oil, therefore reducing its environmental footprint, sets itself apart with its exceptional thrust and performance, electric manipulators, and impressive efficiency compared to hydraulic systems, Saab claims.Ocean Infinity is the SR20’s launch customer, transforming operations using innovative technology as they develop a fleet of uncrewed robotic vessels
DNV Clears Ocean Infinity’s Remotely Supported Vessel Operations
Ocean Infinity has received a Statement of Compliance (SOC) from DNV for its remotely supported vessel operations, marking industry's first such achievement.The approval from DNV, the world's leading classification society, establishes Ocean Infinity as the industry's first organization to reach the required standard of technology and operations for large vessels, and permits the beginning of onshoring marine related tasks and activities.The significance of this achievement was underscored at SMM in Hamburg, the world's largest maritime trade fair, where DNV formally presented the
Ørsted, PGE Offer Look Into Future of Offshore Surveying
U.S. marine robotics company Ocean Infinity has completed an offshore wind farm survey for Ørsted and PGE in the Polish sector of the Baltic Sea, using lean crewed vessel and real-time remote data management.The project team based in Ocean Infinity’s operations centre in Gothenburg, used a multi-beam echo sounder (MBES) and 3D multi-channel ultra-high resolution seismic (3D-UHRS) equipment deployed from an Ocean Infinity Armada lean crewed vessel over 540 km to identify sub-surface boulders in support of the Baltica 2 project installation campaign for wind turbines and offshore substation

by seafloor topology.OBN-to-OBN communication is used for navigation and, as a swarm, to produce relatively small but high resolution seismic datasets. In the future, it will enable the swarm to report back to the launching vessel even if the vessel has moved beyond the reach of an individual OBN.Ocean Infinity’s Armada surface robot vessels only require a skeleton crew because data processing and payload control is conducted from onshore operations centers.Source: Ocean InfinityThe OBNs are designed to glide to the seafloor without the need for ROV help or DP-positioning mother vessels.
