I feel like a while back I read about a startup that tested maritime drone delivery in Galveston… not sure if it was here on gCaptain or in broader tech community blogs. I know the MPA is active in Singapore and Maersk has done their pilots as well… but I can’t seem to find any sources on this in the US.
If anyone recalls this from approximately two years ago - please let me know!
Thanks!
Wilhemsen Ships Service and Airbus have paired up to offer drone delivery to ships at anchor, or passing through Singapore Strait without stopping or slowing:
With the support and funding from MPA Singapore:
First commercial delivery from shore to a ship at the anchorage in Singapore has been successfully completed by WWS and Airbus:
The big test will be drone delivery to a vessel under way in Singapore Strait, yet to be conduced.
