We’re taking the crew and captain ofF the ship

Our robot vessels are equipped with proprietary remote-control software and, soon, an AR interface, enabling operators to manage up to 10 vessels simultaneously in an immersive environment. Autonomous operations will be available in the near future.

We’re also offering a retrofit remote-control capability for vessels that meet the new Dutch 2025 USV regulations (up to 20 meters), freeing operators from captain capacity constraints.

For shipping companies with larger vessels, we provide a remote control suite for fleet management and safety enhancement, allowing customers to build a data lake for future autonomous operations along their specific routes.

a radical approach to shipbuilding

Traditional ships

Radical ships

Expensive

Large complex multipurpose designs​ with crew

Cost-effective

Small, simple, modular designs with autonomous ops ​

Slow to implement

Years to develop with crews to be sourced and trained​

Scalable

Fast iteration cycles and scalable worldwide​

Crew limitations

A crew requires adequate sleep, comfort, and safety​

24/7 Operation

24/7 operations in the extreme conditions ​

Range limitations

A crew requires food, water, and prompt operations​

unlimited range

Can move slow and indefinite with solar and wind ​

High power REQUIREMENTS

Power/speed requirements are partly crew based​

Energy OPTIMISED

Lower power/speed makes H2 a viable option​

Acromyr

Our first USV is the largest Solar-powered drone in the wolrd

Our first vessel (Acromyr) is a weed/debris harvester that can operate in the toughest environments.

– Think robotic lawn mower
– 24/7 zero emission operation 
– 12 x 12 meters
– 150 cubic meters of transport capacity


Order your own Acromyr now and have it delivered after 6 months.

Acromyr’s World wide applications

Harvesting
Macrocystis

Macrocystis is the most efficient seaweed for cultivation. It is buoyant and grows from submerged lines.

Extracting sargassum

A global seaweed issue threatens Caribbean coastal economies and coral reefs. Our harvester offers the first cost-effective cleanup solution.

Mowing
aquatic weeds 

Invasive weeds in lakes and rivers kill fish, harm native plants, and disrupt recreation and transportation.

Removing plastic 

Plastic continues to pollute our waters. Our harvesters could be used to prevent it from leaving our rivers and entering our oceans.

Client case

Kelp Blue didn’t need any convincing that solar power is free and infinite.

Our customer Kelp Blue expects that Acromyr, combined with a much more scalable automated business operation, will save them 75% on CAPEX and 95% on OPEX in the long term.

Modular methodology

the same vessel can be used for both Defence and Survey operations

We use the design freedom that comes with unmanned operations. Our modular construction method allows for many types of ships to be built with the same construction blocks.

Acromyr can be transformed into a survey/security USV for all sorts of inspections like explosive ordinance detection on subsea cables and aerial wind turbine inspection.

With Version 2 and our retrofit service, we’re expanding possibilities

Version 2 of our new-build USV platform, Tetra, features a modular, containerized design that is cost-effective and fully compliant with the latest Dutch regulatory framework for unmanned vessels.

At 20×13 meters, Tetra will be one of the largest USVs in the world, capable of supporting a wide range of operations based on selected modules. Below is an overview of some of the most relevant applications.

In addition to producing new-build USVs, we’re now offering our expertise to help organizations evaluate the benefits of unmanned retrofits. With new regulations on the horizon in the Netherlands, there’s a significant opportunity for optimization.

We can transform vessels up to 20 meters and 100 metric tons into fully unmanned systems. For larger vessels, we ensure they’re ready for unmanned or autonomous operations by retrofitting them for remote control and implementing data collection capabilities.

Inspection

Sensors are our senses

Structural Inspection

Our unmanned vessels equipped with aerial drones and ROV’s can inspect underwater structures like pipelines, cables, piers, etc. Both for commercial and military applications.

Equipped with UUV’s and UAV’s

Hydrographic Surveying

Our unmanned vessels can create detailed mappings of even deepest sea environments for commercial applications like cable-laying, dredging or offshore infra projects.

Unlimited solar/wind range surveys

Mines and ammo detection

The world oceans have been used as ammo dumps that release toxic chemicals, at the same time more mines are deployed. Our vessels can map all these types of hazards.

Casualties are a thing of the past

Patrols against USV’s and UUV’s

Our USV’s can be used to detect, track and identify threats by USV’s and UUV’s. From small scale harbour operations to North Sea-wide data gathering,

We detect what we are

Extraction

We Extract sustainably

Dredging

Autonomous dredging workboats can be equipped with cranes, WID, and suction systems. We design for minimal energy consumption which makes a hydrogen powertrain cost-effective. We also focus on making the dredging process itself more environmentally friendly.

Dredging or dredging support

Surface Harvesting

Our vessels can be used to harvest cultivated seaweed, aquatic weeds, and even plastic pollution. We focus on slow 24/7 procedures using renewable energy from the environment. Our vessels can be used in cooperation with fishermen who can transport loads to shore.

Seaweed, Cyanobacteria, Oil, Etc

Munition and mine removal

When removing mines or ammo there is a huge risk for the personnel involved. We combine our knowledge on detection with our insights on extraction to design cost effective, reliable, and safe clearing robots. We have the intention to remove most of the dumped ammo worldwide.

Safety during removal operations

ERTV

Unmanned vessels are ideal for emergency situations, positioned in strategic locations. Our vessels can be used for emergency towing extractions of vessels in distress or even humans in the water. We can also provide oil spill remediation and fire extinguishing.

Standby on the remote locations

Transportation

An autonomous maritime transportation Network

Cargo Transport

Small autonomous inland and short-sea vessels have reduced offloading time and aren’t dependent on resting schedules. Allowing for lower transport speeds while maintaining the same throughput. Making them significantly more attractive on a cost per ton-kilometer.

Small and autonomous beats big

Transshipment

To further improve the efficiency of our current maritime transportation network, we provide automated transshipment solutions. We enable shallow draft ports to receive goods from large cargo vessels and enable automated in-port logistics over the water.

Short distance electric support

Tug operations

Ports are already heavily automated on shore, and it’s time to extend this capability to the water. We offer autonomous tugboats or mobile bow thrusters that can provide enhanced safety and efficiency for transiting through channels.

Tug operations will be fully automated

Replenishment-at-sea

A zero emission maritime transportation network requires a new refuelling system due to range reductions. We can provide automated RAS vessel that can provide bunkering, charging, and general replenishment while in transit.

Send the cargo without the people

Installation

We Instal At scale

Rock Dumping

Our Tetra vessels are specifically designed for large-scale construction projects, where time and cost efficiency are critical factors. With an extended operating window and the capability for day and night operations, your cable and pipe-laying projects will proceed smoothly and stay on schedule.

Tedious tasks should be automated

Land Reclamation

Tetra vessels are versatile, not only suitable for dredging but also highly effective for land reclamation projects. By combining dredging, transport, and reclamation, they function as an aquatic conveyor belt, streamlining the entire process from material extraction to deposition, ensuring efficient and continuous operations.

If you can dredge you can reclamate

Mine deployment

In the military domain, our Tetra drones can penetrate deep into enemy territory, utilizing wind and solar energy for virtually unlimited range. Operating stealthily, they can deploy mines beneath the seabed while remaining largely undetected.

Deploy mines and loitering munitions

Cable Laying

As part of protective measures, our vessels can be deployed to install fiber optic cables along thousands of kilometers of pipelines or cables, enabling the detection of any sabotage attempts, such as IED placements or other forms of tampering

Place cable sensors on all assets
