HOS, Saronic Link Up to Trial Autonomous Vessels Offshore

When we interviewed Saronic Co-Founder and CEO Dino Mavrookas late last year, he insisted that Saronic’s mission was to deliver commercially viable autonomous vessels first, and in turn parlay that into a ready package for defense. That vision comes to fruition as Saronic announced a partnership with Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. (HOS), to accelerate innovation and deployment of autonomous platforms, advanced software, and maritime solutions to the markets HOS serves.  Specifically, as part of the agreement, Saronic and Hornbeck intend to pursue commercial solutions to support offshore services and energy operations, including pilot projects for Marauder, Saronic’s 180-foot autonomous ship.
