We had a great day at the University of Plymouth STEM Careers Fair last week.

So many enthusiastic students from a wide range of courses, all keen to learn more about what we do at Marine AI and how autonomy software is helping to shape the future of the marine industry.

We had some really positive conversations, heard some great questions, and were inspired by the curiosity, ambition and talent of the next generation of STEM professionals.

It was also brilliant to see so many other inspiring businesses exhibiting and showcasing the exciting opportunities available across STEM.

A big thank you to the University of Plymouth for hosting such a great event

Good luck to everyone as you take your next steps into the future. Hopefully, we’ll be working with some of you before too long!

World Maritime Day 2026 | From Policy to Practice

The future of maritime excellence will be shaped by how effectively we turn advanced technology into real-world impact.

At Marine AI, we create Marine autonomy systems that support risk identification, strengthen situational awareness and improve safety management, while helping operators unlock greater insight from vessel and operational data.

As maritime autonomy advances, it’s about creating safer, smarter and more efficient operations at sea.

Marine AI heads to Portugal for REPMUS 2026

REPMUS is one of the world’s leading environments for the experimentation and development of maritime uncrewed systems.

The event brings together navies, industry, academia and technology developers to test emerging capabilities in realistic maritime environments. The focus is firmly on turning promising technology into operational capability.

For Marine AI, that makes REPMUS an ideal environment to demonstrate our technology and explore what autonomous systems can deliver in the real world. Our team will be showcasing our latest work in AI, autonomy and intelligent maritime systems.

New things are coming, watch this space...

Robots Deploying Robots!

This collaborative world-first trial has received an immense amount of coverage. Autonomy powered by Marine AI

The Defence Blog

British company ZeroUSV said it has demonstrated the autonomous deployment of two smaller surface drones from its Oceanus12 uncrewed surface vessel, during trials conducted in Plymouth, England. The Oceanus12, a 12-meter uncrewed surface vessel, deployed two Oshen C-Star drones during

MarineAI’s Guardian autonomy suite provides the navigational autonomy software that enables autonomous platforms to safely plan, coordinate, and execute complex missions with minimal operator input, while integrating multiple payloads for autonomous deployment capability, allowing ex*****on of tactical missions.

Oliver Thompson, Technical Director of MarineAI, said: “This demonstration shows how maritime autonomy is evolving beyond individual autonomous platforms to coordinated autonomous teams. Guardian provides the decision-making framework that allows multiple autonomous systems to work together safely and intelligently, enabling Oceanus12 and the C-Star vehicles to operate as a single coordinated mission capability rather than as separate assets.

“Bringing together multiple autonomous surface systems creates a much more capable operational solution. It enables complex missions to be carried out with minimal operator intervention, extends operational reach, and helps keep people out of harm’s way, particularly in environments that are hazardous, remote, or where communications are constrained.”

ZeroUSV, Oshen, and MarineAI completed a world-first trial in Plymouth, autonomously launching multiple C-Star surface drones from the Oceanus12 USV as part of a UK Defence Innovation-backed program. The next phase will scale the demonstration to four simultaneous C-Star deployments.
