The largest ever delegation from the BlueZone Group travelled across the Pacific in October for the 2017 Teledyne Marine Technology Workshop held in San Diego.

With multiple concurrent tracks across the marine world including marine measurements, water resources and defence & security there was plenty of information to take in for the BlueZone team to support future customer applications. The busy conference program was supported by a comprehensive on-water demonstration schedule that included a demonstration of many integrated systems developed from the extensive Teledyne Marine product portfolio. A highlight of the demonstration program was the autonomous deployment of a SeaBotix vLBV ROV from a WAM-V Unmanned Surface Vehicle. The demonstration showed how subsea inspection could be quickly and safely performed using autonomous technology launched from a larger ship, allowing the ship to continue on task while the inspection was conducted from the WAM-V.
