ZeroUSV, a UK company specializing in uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), has successfully secured certification from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) for its 12-meter USV class. This crucial approval signifies that the vessel meets the necessary safety and operational standards for commercial deployment in UK waters and potentially beyond.
The certification enables the 12-meter USV to be utilized for a broader range of offshore activities, including surveys, inspections, and potentially supporting other maritime operations. For freight forwarders and logistics professionals involved in offshore projects, this development could mean increased efficiency and new options for deploying specialized equipment or conducting preliminary site assessments without requiring manned vessels, potentially reducing operational costs and lead times for certain project cargo movements.
