The global marine projects sector continues to utilise an ever-expanding range of workboat types, as we will once again see this week. Aside from the conventional dredgers, the broad selection covers large-capacity installation ships to small, portable unmanned craft equipped with advanced sensors for important survey work.
Unmanned marine projects vessels are also steadily evolving, as evidenced by this week's feature article detailing a Dutch project that seeks to introduce a new type of autonomous dredger for near-shore operations.
Be sure to visit Baird Maritime over the coming days as we bring you some of the latest developments in the highly critical dredging, survey, and construction sectors.
