BLUE ATLAS ROBOTICS SHOWCASES TECH IN RISING STARS PAVILION AT EUROPORT 2021

Europort welcomed over 20,000 visitors through its doors from the 2nd to 5th of November, representing 79 different countries worldwide. It was the first major European maritime event in the past two years, and patrons were eager to resume in-person maritime events to explore the vast array of companies showcasing their technologies and services. 

The event featured four days of interesting seminars, conference sessions, and multiple exhibition halls. Key themes discussed at the event included Digitalization, Energy Transition, and Future-proofing the Maritime Industry.

Blue Atlas Robotics exhibited their technology at their booth, a robotics solution that provides a more valuable way to inspect underwater structures such as ship hulls or quay walls. Instead of performing the traditional point inspections which would be expected of an underwater inspection robot, Blue Atlas Robotics’ system methodically images the entire structure without gaps. Advanced photogrammetry is then used to stitch thousands of images into an explorable 3D map of the entire structure. This provides owners and managers of water-based assets with high quality data for tracking and maintaining issues such as corrosion, fouling, and damages accurately.
