        西班牙 GONDAN 造船公司为一艘先进的无人水面艇（USV）切割了第一块钢板，该艇将执行海底检查、维护和修理（IMR）以及勘测工作。

        GONDAN Shipbuilders 与 USV A/S 合作开始建造这艘 USV，USV A/S 是 DeepOcean、Solstad 和 Østensjø Rederi 的联盟，该项目侧重于改进海底作业，目标是与传统方法相比减少 90% 以上的二氧化碳排放量。

        该船由 Salt Ship Design 公司设计，将采用柴电混合推进系统，可进行远程操作，在海上自主航行长达 30 天。

        据 GONDAN 称，该 USV 配备了最新的水下检测技术，将包括能够深入到 1500 米深处的遥控潜水器 (ROV)。

        该船计划于 2025 年投入使用。

        据DeepOcean报道，挪威油气公司阿克尔-英国石油公司（Aker BP）已同意率先使用USV进行水下IMR和勘测工作。

First steel cut for advanced Spain-made unmanned vessel

Spain’s GONDAN Shipbuilders has cut the first steel for an advanced unmanned surface vessel (USV) that will perform subsea inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) and survey work.

GONDAN Shipbuilders started the construction of the USV in collaboration with USV A/S, an alliance of DeepOcean, Solstad and Østensjø Rederi, in a project that focuses on improving subsea operations, targeting a reduction of CO2 emissions by more than 90% compared to conventional methods.

Designed by Salt Ship Design, the vessel will feature a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system, allowing remote operation and autonomy of up to 30 days at sea.

According to GONDAN, the USV is equipped with the latest technology for underwater inspection and will include remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) capable of reaching depths of up to 1,500 meters.

The vessel is scheduled to be operational in 2025.

Norwegian oil and gas player Aker BP has agreed to pioneer the use of the USV for subsea IMR and survey work, DeepOcean reported.
