UiT, the Arctic University of Norway received a new ProZero Workboat for its Autonomous Ships Navigation research program. The boat is outfitted and utilized as a fast and flexible multi mission workboat.
The boat has been built to the desired specifications of UIT and is taken over by the University after full sea trials at the ProZero building yard, Tuco Marine in Denmark.
The boat is designed and optimized to serve as a multi-functional workboat. However, it is set-up specifically for the University researchers needs for a boat to perform their research in autonomous shipping.
The boat is equipped with well-organized working decks, while the cabin protects the researchers against the surrounding environment, improving work conditions for the users. The designed mast is made to hold all the sensor and camera equipment used by the University during the research missions.
In addition, its hull provides for a stable ride.
