Submerging drone inventions provided by the Canadian company Deep Trekker can make ship and offshore inspections easier and can bring[ds_preview] benefits for harbor security. Advanced technologies of self-contained battery driven drones can bring great advantages to port – and offshore park operators and maritime officials, the company stated. They are cost efficient, easy to use and offer a wide range of upgrades for underwater inspections or working operations and can be deployed in up to 300m depths.
While larger versions of this technology facilitate offshore inspections and deep-sea operations, smaller and cheaper versions can add significant advantages to port security and safety, e.g. hull inspections or underwater quay control. With speeds of up to 3,5 kn, maximum dimensions of only 40-65 mm and additional lighting upgrades for muddy water, those robots are operative where humans would face difficulties or risks. Therefore the drones could offer economic advantages to different kinds of operators.
