In this edition of the In the Know podcast series, TME spoke with Saildrone CFO Barak Ben-Gal about the carbon savings that his firm delivers for clients. Using unmanned, automated wing-sail propulsion, Saildrone’s USVs can deploy from any dock and transit autonomously to the area of operation and navigate or loiter for a year or more at a time. Working for commercial enterprises and government organizations, they have sailed through hurricanes, conducted surveys in the Bering Sea, tracked maritime security threats in the Persian Gulf, and monitored the safety of migrant craft off the coast of Haiti.
In addition to operational advantages, Saildrone USVs have ultra-low lifecycle emissions, and their wind propulsion “avoids” 99.9 percent of the carbon that bunker-fueled survey ships would generate to carry out the same contract.

Salvage in the Coronavirus Era
The marine salvage industry has changed dramatically in the last ten years, with fewer players working in a smaller market. On the 10th anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon spill, we spoke with Resolve Marine Group's director of business development, Joey Farrell III, about how the industry has evolved - and about what it takes to move salvage crews and conduct operations during the COVID-19 shutdown. For more, listen in on the conversation.
