🌊 What an incredible evening at the Maritime Solent Awards 2025 last night!

We’re thrilled to have been finalists in the “Technology Game Changer” category, standing alongside so many inspiring innovators shaping the future of the maritime industry.

While we didn’t take home the trophy this time, having SeaBot Maritime shortlisted among such forward-thinking companies reminds us just how much momentum there is in the maritime sector right now.

A heartfelt thank you to Maritime Solent and to everyone driving innovation across the Solent and beyond. We’re proud to be part of this wave of progress and excited for what’s to come! 🚀⚓

Yesterday, our CEO, Gordon Meadow attended the North Sea MASS Symposium, hosted by the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton.

Bringing together leaders from industry, regulation, and academia, the symposium focused on the forthcoming IMO MASS Code and its influence on national frameworks, under the theme “Ready About: The Turn of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships”.

At SeaBot Maritime, we value the opportunity to engage in these discussions, which reinforce our commitment to preparing the global workforce for the future of uncrewed, autonomous, and remote maritime operations.

Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of joining fellow 2025 Maritime Solent Awards finalists at the Finalist Reception, hosted at Carnival UK HQ.

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with other innovators and leaders shaping the future of the maritime sector, and a brilliant lead-up to the main awards ceremony on 23rd October.

SeaBot Maritime is proud to be a finalist in the ‘Technology Game Changer’ category, and we’re looking forward to celebrating with the wider Solent maritime community next month.

Thank you to Maritime Solent and Carnival UK teams for hosting such a great evening and congratulations to all other finalists. Let the countdown begin!

Autonomy at Sea: Is Your Team Ready?

Autonomous ships and AI systems are no longer the future, they are already here. The challenge isn’t adopting the technology, it’s ensuring your workforce is prepared to keep pace. Today’s operators oversee systems, analyse data, and collaborate with AI, making structured training essential.

Our latest blog explores how the maritime sector is adapting and shows how SeaBot Maritime training programmes help organisations turn workforce readiness into a real operational advantage.
