testimonial

DSTL selected the MAHI Sense solution as the remote control and dynamic positioning system for a prototype uncrewed vessel.
MAHI has proven to be a highly professional and responsive team and their help and advice when integrating MAHI Sense with the vessel's subsystems has been invaluable.
The performance of MAHI Sense has exceeded expectations and DSTL is looking forward to continuing to work with MAHI to further develop and prove the vessel's capabilities.

The challenge

The UK’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) is developing a special-purpose USV for the Royal Navy, requiring Dynamic Positioning to ensure the vessel remains on position during high-stakes operations. The core challenge involved the complex integration of an autonomous control stack with the vessel’s other subsystems.

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.

Seasats

testimonial

At the US Navy's Task Force 59 Digital Horizon exercise, the MAHI team delivered a maritime domain-specific computer vision solution that filled a crucial need for us. Thanks to Mahi's plug-and-play software, we were able to tie it into our existing systems and validate it in a matter of weeks. The team's maritime expertise translated directly into a product that outperformed other more generic solutions, considered in the design phase, by a wide margin!
