Ocean Power completes engineering of Merrows for hot climates

Ocean Power Technologies announced it has completed the necessary engineering for Merrows, its Artificial Intelligence capable Maritime Domain Awareness Solution, to be deployed in hot climates. The engineering efforts integrated lessons learned from current and previous deployments, including in Bahrain. These efforts were necessitated by increased interest in the solution in regions such as the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and North Africa. Philipp Stratmann, CEO and President of OPT, expressed his enthusiasm about this development, stating, “In addition to our recent expansion into Latin America, we are excited to start offering services in Sub-Saharan and North Africa, and the Middle East. Offering an integrated AI solution enables our potential customers to easily integrate PowerBuoys and WAM-Vs into their operations.”
