About
Join us for an engaging webinar partnered with SMI, exploring the critical infrastructure and data ecosystems needed for autonomous workboats. As many workboats operate within port limits, ensuring infrastructure readiness, robust connectivity, and efficient data sharing is essential for the safe and effective adoption of autonomous technologies. This session will highlight the latest insights and practical approaches from leading experts in the field.

The webinar will focus on four key areas:
Infrastructure challenges for enabling autonomy – Simon Davies, Manager UK & Europe, Saronic
Connectivity requirements – Gaurangi Bajpai, Senior telecoms engineer, Satellite Applications Catapult Ltd
Shared data and communication standards - TBC
Integrating autonomous vessel communications into port and harbour systems – Lewis Seymour-Pugh, Senior Consultant, Marico Marine

Each speaker will give a 10-minute presentation, followed by a Q&A discussion, for a total session of 40 minutes.
