The Solent Guardian is a 19m coastal survey vessel designed for delivery of hydrographic, geophysical and environmental surveys. With a beam of 6.3m and shallow draft of 1.5m, it offers an ideal survey platform for coastal areas as well as having unhindered access to nearshore environments.

Designed and built in the UK, the MJM Enterprise is a versatile 26.7m vessel, capable of various operations including Survey, ROV and Environmental campaigns. A highlight of the vessel is its robust 5.2m wide, 6T SWL A-Frame with 4.5t integrated winch (extra fall for 6T loads). The A-Frame offers a height of 6.5m with flanges on both the outboard and inboard sides, expanding the towing width.

Everything you need to perform an inspection or survey out of the box. The PHOTON package includes our enhanced 4K camera, LED floodlights, a swappable battery, 100m tether and tether reel, controller, and carrying case.

Debuted in March 2023, the new EvoLogics Multibeam for the Sonobot is based on a Norbit OEM solution, an entry-class multibeam sonar with a professional approach. It comes with a high-grade dual GNSS and INS positioning and motion control which is standard for all Norbit echosounders. With 256 beams at 1.45°x1°, a range of over 200 m, and a ping rate of 50 Hz, this system enables professional surveillance that complies with the IHO’s S-44 standard.

During the live demonstrations, the Mariner Seadrone will carry out seabed mapping using a forward-looking sonar (FLS). Sonar and bathymetric data will be shown live on screen while the vessel follows an autonomous waypoint plan, mapping continuously with steady speed and stable line keeping. The focus of the session is on reliable data collection and clear situational awareness throughout the operation. It will show how combining autonomy and sensor systems allows mapping work to be done with less risk to the crew and lower fuel use, while still maintaining the data quality required for professional survey work.

At Marine AI, we are revolutionising vessel operations with cutting-edge autonomy software that transforms maritime safety and performance. Guided by our vision to make every journey safer and smarter, our intelligent systems empower vessels with unmatched precision, efficiency, and reliability. From optimising navigation to enhancing operational decision-making, we ensure safer seas and unrivalled performance – for a better maritime future.

The APACHE 6 is an autonomous USV designed for high-resolution 3D bathymetric surveys, underwater object positioning, and offshore construction. Its dual-propeller system supports stable autonomous cruising and efficient operations. With Android-based remote control capability, the APACHE 6 offers flexibility and accuracy for complex hydrographic survey projects.

STR will bring its latest subsea technology to life in a live quayside demonstration, revealing how our newest innovations are reshaping subsea data acquisition, reliability, and operational efficiency. Attendees will experience first-hand how STR solutions deliver higher-quality data, significant cost savings and smarter offshore operations in demanding marine environments.

HyDrone 4.5 is a rugged, one-person portable survey catamaran offering long battery life, fast setup, advanced sensor integration (incl. Nexys Pro SLAM LiDAR) and stable, high-quality hydrographic data.
