Shell contracts Ocean Infinity team for USV hydrographic survey
Shell contracted Ocean Infinity and Guardian Geomatics for a hydrographic project spanning more than 800 square kilometres.
Why it matters
The Shell award commits up to three USVs across more than 800 square kilometres, with stated threefold acquisition-time and tenfold fuel-use reductions retained as project estimates.
Evidence notes
- The operating plan allowed up to three uncrewed surface vessels.
- Guardian’s Seabed-Cloud system supported rapid delivery of acquired data.
- The parties expected USVs to cut onsite acquisition time by a factor of three.
