Startup from Delft. Developing the next generation tugboats eliminating the towrope & able to dynamically position a vessel in the harbor. The technology delivers detachable autonomous thrusters to a vessel when she arrives in port. Response time improved by as much as 98% over conventional tugboats, direct control on the thrust by the bridge team, reduced accidents, fully electric zero emissions, eliminates idling time of tugboats, no operational headaches and substantial cost savings made possible. Other technologies being developed also include subsea magnets & passive ship-ship and ship-shore moorings.Maritime advisor for planning & financial modelling of port and shipping projects, Discrete event simulations for optimization of logistics, Marine superintendent QHSSE Shipping safety audits & navigation audits for a fleet of reefer container vessels.
