SEAVOLUTION - By cutting the cost of oceanographic survey and speeding up data collection, we will learn more about the oceans, for which the Bluefish ZCC platform is the ideal robotic ocean workhorse. Based on a stable trimaran form hull this design is under development by British engineers with potential collaboration from Europe - the object being to clean up plastic ocean waste. This robot ship uses no diesel fuel to monitor the oceans autonomously 24/7 and 365 days a year - only possible with the revolutionary energy harvesting system. The modular hullform is adaptable for automatic release and recovery of AUVs, ROVs  or towed arrays, alternating between drone and fully autonomous modes. The small ship can even carry a UAV for advance scouting and anti piracy monitoring. This vessel pays for itself in fuel saved every ten years.

With climate change now recognised as one of the biggest dangers to our oceans, adapted Bluefish designs could be the zero carbon fishing vessels of the future.
