DeepOcean’s inaugural USV feels the water for the first time (Video)
An advanced, 24-meter-long unmanned surface vessel (USV) being built in Spain for a joint venture of DeepOcean, Solstad Offshore and Østensjø Rederi has been floated out.
GONDAN Shipbuilders started the construction of the USV Challenger in March 2024, following the order from USV A/S, a joint venture of DeepOcean, Solstad Offshore and Østensjø Rederi, in a project that focuses on improving subsea operations, targeting a reduction of CO2 emissions by more than 90% compared to conventional methods.
It was reported today, February 26, that the USV had been floated out at the Astilleros Gondán shipyard.
