U.S. marine robotics firm Ocean Infinity has taken supply of the eighth and closing ammonia-ready robotic vessel within the Armada sequence from the Norwegian shipbuilder Vard.
Vard Vung Tau in Vietnam delivered the last 78-meter vessel in the series of eight robotic vessels to Ocean Infinity on January 24.
The supply of NB 941 completes the sequence of vessels that may broaden Ocean Infinity’s new lean-crewed Armada fleet.
The fleet demonstrates the most recent in marine robotics, and can function multi-role-vessels to assist Ocean Infinity’s operations worldwide from its onshore management facilities.
In February 2020, Ocean Infinity first introduced its plans to construct ‘the world’s largest’ fleet of unmanned floor autos (USV).
Later that 12 months, it determined to broaden the fleet with 78-meter-long robotic vessels that may be optionally crewed, putting an order for six of these items with Vard.
In February 2022, Ocean Infinity employed Vard for a brand new sequence of six vessels, which may have a size of 85 meters and a beam of 16.4 meters.
The vessels are scheduled for supply from Vard Vung Tau in 2025.
