The first ever Unmanned Marine Systems (UMS) certificate has been awarded to SEA-KIT International by Lloyd’s Register, representing an important milestone for the maritime industry. SEA-KIT has worked closely with Lloyd’s Register since early 2020 in a concerted effort to achieve the highest standards for the Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) sector, culminating with their latest 12m X-class USV for geo-data specialist Fugro being awarded the new UMS certification. Unmanned systems technologies continue to gain a stronghold in the offshore sector. SEA-KIT is already working on commercial projects around the world, with multiple additional builds planned that include a larger vessel later this year.
