Use case - DEME
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.
Use case - UltraTug
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.

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.
Use case - Roger F. Wicker Center for Ocean Enterprise
USM’s Roger F. Wicker Center for Ocean Enterprise Facility is a research and development partnership program focused on uncrewed maritime systems and blue technology innovation.
The Roger F. Wicker Center for Ocean Enterprise of the University of Southern Mississippi has selected MAHI to deliver the MAHI Sense platform for their autonomous surface vessel to study Physical Processes in the Northern Gulf of Mexico.
The vessel is a small draft RIB intended for shallow water surveys and monitoring activities. It can be easily deployed from shore or a mother vessel and serves as an excellent platform for demonstrations, education and training of USV operators.
