UK designer and manufacturer of uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) ZeroUSV has secured certification from the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency for its Oceanus12 class of USVs that demonstrates that it meets the safety, operational and technical requirements established under the MCA Workboat Code Edition 3, including the framework developed specifically for remotely operated and unmanned vessels.
According to ZeroUSV, WB3 represents the UK’s most comprehensive regulatory regime for commercial workboats and has become an important benchmark for the safe integration of autonomous technologies into maritime operations.
