(OPT), a leader in innovative, cost-effective, low-carbon, and artificial intelligence maritime services that enable safer and more productive ocean operations and related power, data, and service solutions, announced the shipment of a WAM-V® 22’ with autonomous capabilities designed to provide offshore surveys with 24/7 operational payloads for multiple days without requiring a return to base.
