AAV at Singapore Maritime Week 2025
AAV attended Singapore Maritime Week 2025 to study maritime drones, hydrographic surveying, autonomous vessels and the technologies shaping Maritime Singapore.
AAV attended Singapore Maritime Week 2025 to learn from maritime operators, technology companies and agencies working on the future of port and marine operations.
The team saw how MPA uses drones for vessel inspection, emissions monitoring and emergency response. Members also visited the Maritime Drone Estate, watched shore-to-ship delivery demonstrations by Skyports Drone Services and learned about components such as winches and dual GPS for redundancy.
Another highlight was boarding MPA’s hydrographic vessel Mata Ikan to observe shipwreck mapping. With an ASV, ROV and side-scan sonar on board, the vessel showed how surface, underwater and sensing systems work together in real maritime survey operations.
The event helped AAV place its own work in context. Maritime autonomy is already appearing in inspection, logistics, mapping, clean-up and naval systems, and Singapore is one of the places where these technologies are being tested.
