🚀 38 DAYS. 4,000 NAUTICAL MILES. ZERO CREW OFFSHORE.
A new benchmark has been set for autonomous offshore ocean current monitoring.
For 38 uninterrupted days, a Chance Maritime MC40 Unmanned Surface Vessel operated in the U.S. Gulf with no crew onboard, no refueling and no ing more than 4,000 nautical miles while operating up to 200 nautical miles offshore.
At the heart of the mission was Woods Hole Group’s FAST Eddy ocean current monitoring system.
Installed aboard the MC40 USV, FAST Eddy continuously collected, processed and transmitted near-real-time ocean current data via satellite, while the vessel also autonomously deployed 8 FAR Horizon drifting buoys at predefined locations.
The system combines:
🌊 75 kHz and 300 kHz ADCP measurements
🛰️ Satellite data transmission
📊 Secure visualization through Metocean Mapper
🧭 24/7 remote vessel control
🌐 Integration with EddyWatch® ocean current intelligence
Even in gale-force winds and seas exceeding 12 feet, the 12 m MC40 maintained a speed of approximately 4.5 knots.
The result is more than an endurance milestone.
It demonstrates how autonomous platforms, real-time metocean measurements, satellite connectivity and expert oceanographic analysis can be combined to provide offshore operators with continuous, actionable current intelligence, while reducing human exposure, operational downtime and dependence on conventional survey vessels.
This is what the next generation of offshore monitoring looks like.

⚠️ 30 minutes without GNSS, in a high-risk maritime zone. The vessel still had to navigate safely.
Navigation does not stop when #GNSS becomes unreliable.
As of October 21, the IMO had confirmed 119 maritime incidents across the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Middle East region, ed or sunk, and crews injured or missing.
Against this broader security backdrop, captains and crews continue to operate in demanding conditions.
And reducing risk starts with one essential requirement: knowing where the vessel really is.
GNSS jamming can cause a complete loss of positioning. Spoofing can be even more deceptive, generating a convincing but false position and making a vessel appear somewhere other than where it actually is.
In such conditions, crews may have to question the reliability of the very positioning information they depend on.
🌊 This is where trusted positioning becomes critical.
CLS, together with its subsidiary Ground Control and leveraging Iridium PNT technology, provides #RockFLEETAssured, designed to support safe and reliable vessel operations when GNSS signals are disrupted, compromised or unavailable.
During a deployment in the Red Sea, near Port Sudan, RockFLEET Assured maintained APNT positioning throughout a 30-minute GNSS outage. The recorded tracks also clearly showed the effects of GNSS spoofing.
⚓ On board, the solution provides an assured Iridium PNT position alongside the GNSS position and track, with integrity alerts to help crews identify anomalies.
📡 Ashore, vessel positions, alerts and history can be transmitted through Cloudloop Tracking or integrated into existing #FleetManagement systems, helping shore teams maintain situational awareness.
Because in high-risk waters, navigation may continue even when GNSS does not.
And when it does, knowing where your vessel really is becomes critical.

🌲 The forest doesn’t just surround a wind farm. It reshapes the wind.
And when wind flow changes, generic modelling assumptions may no longer be enough.
💨 To improve Wind Resource Assessment in highly forested areas, and developed a CFD forest calibration methodology within ed through a project with EDF Renewables.
The approach uses measured vertical wind profiles to calibrate the CFD forest model according to site-specific forest characteristics, including forest height and density.
📊 Tested across 6 calibration and cross-prediction cases at 3 international sites, the methodology showed:
→ shear differences between simulations and measurements were reduced significantly from [0.08–0.3] to [0.01–0.07]
→ horizontal mean speed errors have been reduced from [1.0–9.5%] to [0.5–2.2%]
→ yielding a global mean absolute speed error of 1.1% based on six cases
The study also demonstrated that forest calibration can influence simulated wind profiles beyond the lower levels of the canopy, including closer to turbine hub height.
🎯 The objective: better represent real site conditions, improve wind flow modelling and reduce uncertainty in Wind Resource Assessment.

🌊 #SuperElNino in the Southeast Pacific: what is changing off Peru and Chile?
As previously mentioned, El Niño is already affecting the Southeast Pacific, with increasingly visible changes in ocean conditions off the coasts of #Peru and #Chile.
During a Super El Niño, these apidly. In a region strongly influenced by the Humboldt Current, shifts in temperature, currents, marine productivity and ecosystem conditions can directly affect the distribution of marine resources and fishing activity.
🛰️ By combining satellite observations, ocean circulation models and marine ecosystem modelling, CLS provides a comprehensive view of ocean dynamics and their impacts on marine ecosystems.
Through #CATSAT, this approach helps to:
- identify fishing hotspots and declining productive areas;
- anticipate shifts in the distribution of key commercial species;
- reduce uncertainty in fisheries operations and management;
- support timely, science-based decisions for fisheries stakeholders and coastal states.
🎣 For captains operating off Peru and Chile, understanding how these conditions evolve can help identify promising fishing grounds, reduce search time at sea and adapt fishing strategies as the marine environment changes.
📍 With its presence in Latin America, CLS supports fisheries stakeholders in Peru and Chile with satellite-based ocean intelligence to better understand these changes and support informed decisions at sea.

🌊 Search smarter. Respond faster. Save lives at sea.
In the Maldives, CLS experts Naima Allaoui and Christophe Jankovec recently delivered a three-day #THEMISSAR training to teams from the Maldives National Defence Force and Maldives Airports Company Ltd, at the new Maritime tre on Vilingili Island.
🛰️ The training started with the key components of THEMIS SAR before moving deeper into drift modelling and the configuration and allocation of Search and Rescue Units (SRUs). Through practical exercises and real-life scenarios, participants were able to work directly with the platform.
🚢 From theory to real-world testing: a vessel was set adrift for several hours to test THEMIS SAR in real conditions. The following day, teams compared the search area calculated by THEMIS SAR with the vessel’s actual drift. The final training sessions also covered the aircraft search function.
Based on IAMSAR guidelines, THEMIS SAR combines drift forecasting, enhanced Monte Carlo particle modelling, real-time weather data and search planning tools to calculate optimal search areas and support SRU tasking.
🌍 With a maritime search area almost twice the size of France, Search & Rescue represents a major operational challenge for the Maldives. Following the training, three designated participants will continue training coast guards in atolls further from Malé.
🙏 A warm thank you to the MNDF and MACL teams for their welcome, engagement and the very constructive exchanges throughout these three days. A valuable opportunity to share operational experience and strengthen our collaboration around Search & Rescue.
Available 7 days a week and already used by more than 700 users worldwide, THEMIS SAR supports #SearchAndRescue teams when every second counts.

♻️ Collecte des déchets, comment mieux connaître ses tournées grâce à la traçabilité des bacs ?
Pour une collectivité, savoir qu’un véhicule a réalisé sa tournée ne suffit pas toujours à comprendre précisément ce qui s’est passé sur le terrain. Identifier les bacs collectés et leur levée permet de disposer de données plus fines.
Certaines situations nécessitent de pouvoir retracer précisément les opérations de collecte :
🗑️ Un bac signalé comme non collecté
📞 Une réclamation d’un usager à vérifier
⚠️ Une anomalie constatée pendant la tournée
C’est tout l’objectif de #TRACITY®, la solution de lecture RFID développée par CLS pour les opérations de collecte. Installé directement sur le véhicule, le dispositif s’appuie sur des antennes et lecteurs RFID positionnés au niveau du système de levée.
Lorsqu’un bac équipé d’une puce est présenté, il est automatiquement identifié, sans manipulation supplémentaire pour l’agent. L’information est ensuite associée à l’opération de collecte et transmise à la tablette de guidage NAVDROID embarquée dans la cabine du véhicule.
Les données sont ensuite envoyées en temps réel dans la solution #EAZY COLLECTE, où les collectivités peuvent retrouver l’historique des levées et analyser leurs tournées. La continuité de la donnée, du bac jusqu’au bureau de l’exploitant permet d'accompagner les réflexions sur l’évolution du schéma de collecte.

👏 I-VMS in England, a benchmark for #NEMO and small-scale fisheries monitoring
🛥️🌊 With a coastline stretching along the North Sea, the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean, England is home to thousands of fishing vessels under 12 metres. Today, more than 1,200 NEMO devices ports, making England a key benchmark for small-scale and inshore fisheries monitoring.
Led by the Marine Management Organisation, the national I-VMS programme provides greater visibility of inshore fishing activities and reliable positional data to support fisheries management and compliance.
🛰️ Designed by CLS specifically for small-scale and inshore fisheries, NEMO is compact, robust and easy to install on smaller vessels. Its hybrid satellite and cellular connectivity ensures reliable, near-real-time position reporting, including beyond mobile network coverage.
NEMO also features an assistance button, allowing fishers to send an alert even when operating outside cellular coverage. A solution designed around the realities at sea, benefiting both fishers and fisheries authorities.

🌊 Better understanding phytoplankton through satellite data and artificial intelligence
At the base of marine food webs, #Phytoplankton plays an essential role in the functioning of marine ecosystems. But did you know that phytoplankton can be classified according to cell size?
erent phytoplankton size classes?
Picophytoplankton - less than 2 µm
Nanophytoplankton - between 2 and 20 µm
Microphytoplankton - between 20 and 200 µm
These different size classes do not all play the same role in marine ecosystems. #Microphytoplankton is of particular interest when studying energy transfer to higher trophic levels.
🛰️ To better monitor their distribution at a large scale, CLS has trained an artificial intelligence model to reproduce the results of a physical method applied to Sentinel-3/OLCI observations. This approach speeds up data processing and paves the way for global, daily monitoring.
🐟 These observations can then be combined with fisheries data to explore the links between phytoplankton dynamics and fisheries resources, including the time lag between a phytoplankton proliferation and the presence of top predators.
📍 Last week, CLS presented this work at #OceanOptics XXVII in Ghent, Belgium, where our teams shared the latest developments in phytoplankton monitoring using #SatelliteData and artificial intelligence.
