XOCEAN enters strategic alliance in Japan to expand use of USVs

XOCEAN, an Irish company specializing in uncrewed surface vessel (USV) operations and ocean data, has formed a strategic alliance with two Japanese companies, Japan Marine Science Inc. and Nihon Shipyard Co., Ltd. The alliance aims to expand the use of USVs in Japan and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

The collaboration will focus on integrating XOCEAN's USV technology with Japan Marine Science's research activities and Nihon Shipyard's shipbuilding capabilities. This could lead to new job opportunities and training for seafarers in the region, as well as potential improvements in safety through enhanced data collection and analysis.
