We dive deep into the Mayflower Autonomous Ship (MAS) project – an exciting global initiative to build an AI and solar-powered marine research vessel capable of traversing oceans gathering vital environmental data. The project is led by marine research non-profit ProMare with support from IBM and a global consortium of partners. We talk to the people involved, the challenges and technologies behind it, and the vision for the future of ocean research. We also look at the synergies between ocean and space exploration, and what lessons can be transferred from one “final frontier” to another.

Episode 1: The Origin and Vision of the Mayflower Autonomous Ship Project

In this episode, we are talking about the origins of the Mayflower Autonomous Ship.

This new-generation Mayflower is designed to deepen our understanding of critical issues such as global warming, ocean plastic pollution and marine mammal conservation.

This conversation is less about what the ship is and more about why it was created and where the idea came from. We also get into what it takes to innovate within the understandably risk-averse maritime industry.

We talk to Brett Phaneuf, the Co-Director of the Mayflower Autonomous Ship project and Managing Director of MSubs - the company that built the pioneering new autonomous ship. Joining Brett is Eric Aquarone, a systems strategist from IBM, who has been steering this project for IBM since the beginning.
