Ultratug

testimonial

This initiative is crucial for enhancing the safety and efficiency of our fleet. At Ultratug, we believe in seamlessly blending our consistent knowledge and experience with cutting-edge solutions while prioritizing safety and effiency. Integratings MAHI's technology aligns perfectly with our vision of advancing our operational capabilities and maintaining our commitment to innovation. We look forward to piloting MAHI's cutting-edge technology and exploring potential opportunities for a further roll-out across the Ultranav fleet.

CEO of Ultratug Chile

The challenge

Ultratug – one of the leading harbour and offshore towage services providers in the Americas – partnered with MAHI to operate their tugboats remotely. The fleet of tugboats managed by Ultratug travel regularly between the major Chilean ports for their operations. Ultratug is exploring remote operation of their tugboats to alleviate the workload of onboard navigators and increase safety during manned operations.

MAHI advised Ultratug on the selection of sensor components and installed a redundant MAHI Sense system and MAHI Aware UI onboard the workboat. MAHI is installing a Remote Operations Center on shore and training the vessel masters to remotely operate their tugboats.

This project was awarded with the ITS Innovation Award 2025.

Rohde Nielsen Hugin & Munin

testimonial

We are thrilled to partner with MAHI! Their fast and professional installation of the remote operation system across two of our split hopper barges is complete, proving MAHI’s pragmatic approach. We are now excited to begin phased operations, enhancing capabilities and working directly with our crew and the authorities on the steps toward remote navigation.
Michael Martin Wegener Bjarløv
Head of Fleet Operations at Rohde Nielsen

The challenge

MAHI equipped Rohde Nielsen’s barges Hugin and Munin with remote operation technology and set up a fully functional ROC as part of the company’s equipment modernisation strategy.

The implementation of the remote system offers clear advantages: vessels can be monitored and controlled from a safe, centralised location, reducing the need for crew on board during routine or repetitive operations. This not only lowers operational risk and cost but also enables faster decision‑making, improved situational awareness and more consistent performance across missions.

DEME

testimonial

We recently partnered with MAHI to pilot their cutting-edge navigation assistance technology, MAHI Aware, into one of our production vessels. The swift and professional installation of the MAHI system, completed in just one day, left us thoroughly impressed.
Even in the pilot stage, the MAHI Aware system realized immediate insights with a clear potential to realize significant economic benefits.
As we navigate ahead, DEME Group is excited to collaborate further with MAHI on its journey towards maritime operations with advanced decision support.

The challenge

DEME – an internationally active dredging company – is exploring the potential to transform their split hopper barges to reduced crew and ultimately uncrewed vessels. DEME partnered with MAHI to enhance crew efficiency and the safety of navigation.

MAHI advised DEME on selection of sensor components and successfully installed a MAHI Sense and MAHI Aware UI onboard the Split Hopper Barge.

Port inspections

Port of Antwerp-Bruges

testimonial

If we can deploy a cost‑efficient autonomous vessel in Zeebrugge, it would improve port operations. Routine inspections can be handled by smart technology, freeing our teams for critical tasks. Our remote captain was impressed by how intuitive the system is — people with a passion for sailing can now do this work remotely and in more comfortable conditions, where the job hardly feels like a job.

The challenge

Ports worldwide are exploring autonomous technologies to boost efficiency and sustainability. At Port of Antwerp-Bruges, a demonstration of the MAHI technology with the Mahificent, our test and demo vessel, offered a look at that future. During the demonstration, we highlighted how unmanned surface vessels can streamline port inspections and surveillance. The trial showed that the technology not only improves operational efficiency but is also surprisingly easy for port operators to deploy, making autonomy a practical asset for day‑to‑day port management.
