NEIL TINMOUTH CONFERENCES USVs UNMANNED SURFACE VESSELS SEAWORK 2020 SOUTHAMPTON JUNE INTERNATIONAL MARINE EXHIBITIONS HYBRID PROPULSION

Neil Tinmouth - Speaker - Chief Operating Officer, Sea-Kit

Neil Tinmouth is a Geologist and hydrographic surveyor, with over 10 years’ experience in the nearshore and marine sector.

Working as SEA-KIT International’s Chief Operating Officer, Neil is responsible for identifying market trends and to help develop the company’s strategic road map. Neil has also been working closely with the ESA on an Unmanned TransAtlantic Survey project, between Canada and the UK, that is expected to take place in Q2/Q3 of 2020.

The maritime tech company, Sea-Kit, based in southeast England, was behind the unmanned Maxlimer. Maxlimer is operated via a hand-held remote control when in harbor. When it’s out to sea, the USV has the capacity to live stream data to the controller through multiple satellite links.

“The controller here in this station can actually see all the way round on the horizon near real-time,” James Fanshawe, a director of Sea-Kit, told Reuters, “and in many ships, it’s quite difficult to actually even see what’s behind you from the bridge of that ship.”

Neil Tinmouth is quoted by the Daily Beast: "Maxlimer’s intrepid journey across the Atlantic is on schedule to start during the first half of 2020, calling the ship a “game-changer.”

Prior to joining SEA-KIT International full time, Neil worked as a consultant helping SMEs developing clear and executable business strategies. Neil was also one of the founding members of the GEBCO-NF Alumni team that won the Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE competition, and was part of the establishing committee of the NGO Map the Gaps.

The theme of the 2020 conference will be ‘USV’s growing role in the Commercial Marine Market’. This half day Conference session will focus on Unmanned Surface Vessels and how their roles are developing in the Survey, Oceanographic, Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas, Transport and Defence sectors. The USV market was estimated at $534m in 2018 and with significant investment in the manufacture and development of advanced technology, is projected to reach $1,020 million by 2023. This session will highlight how the role of USV’s is making a positive impact in these sectors and how they can benefit future business. The 2020 Conference will be chaired by Peter Collinson, Senior Subsea and Environmental Specialist, BP International Limited.

The theme of the 2020 conference will be 'Real World Implementation of Hybrid Propulsion Solutions'. With Government legislation and environmental considerations key to reducing emission levels, this half day Conference session will explore the progress being made with hybrid propulsion in the commercial marine and workboat markets. Gain insight into case studies which demonstrate where hybrid propulsion is successfully making a difference – review the benefits to business and engage in the discussions on the challenges faced by the industry. The 2020 Conference will be chaired by Alan Cartwright, Director of Blabey Engineering Limited - a maritime consultancy.

PILOT SEAVAX - Our love affair with polymers is causing enormous damage to the marine environment, with microplastics now found in zooplankton, shellfish and the stomachs of most seabirds. This vessel is designed to use the latest technology to sample marine debris at different depths and store marine debris at different depths, allied to a database to help formulate effective fleet cleaning operations of the future. This vessel is solar and wind powered, so does not contribute to global warming. A consortium of programmers and specialist engineers are seeking funding to build a 17 meter prototype in 2021.

CLIMATE CHANGE - A barge using batteries to power electric drives for a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions.

The Seawork Conferences are a must for all involved in the commercial marine industry who wish to explore the challenges, changes and emerging opportunities in today’s and tomorrow’s commercial marine and workboat sector.
Returning for 2020, the Seawork Commercial Marine Conferences will deliver updates and insights in the fast moving Unmanned Surface Vessel and Hybrid propulsion markets.
