When we interviewed Saronic Co-Founder and CEO Dino Mavrookas late last year, he insisted that Saronic's mission was to deliver commercially viable autonomous vessels first, and in turn parlay that into a ready package for defense. That vision comes to fruition as Saronicannounced a partnership with Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (HOS), to accelerate innovation and deployment of autonomous platforms, advanced software, and maritime solutions to the markets HOS serves. Specifically, as part of the agreement, Saronic and Hornbeck intend to pursue commercial solutions to support offshore services and energy operations, including pilot projects for Marauder, Saronic’s 180-foot autonomous ship.
“At Saronic, we focus on building technology that improves outcomes and reduces risk in high-complexity maritime environments,” said Dino Mavrookas, Co-Founder and CEO of Saronic. “Our autonomous maritime capabilities can increase the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of offshore operations. Through our partnership with Hornbeck, we will work to responsibly deploy autonomous maritime systems to improve offshore service delivery – advancing energy security, and, in turn, economic and national security.”
The companies will also evaluate how Saronic’s technologies could support a wide spectrum of Hornbeck’s operational functions – ranging from voyage planning and service delivery to fleet management and predictive maintenance –
