The criteria taken into account by the jury at the time of making the decision have been the use of innovative materials for its construction, the improvements and benefits that would originate the drone as well as the value it provides for the society and of the marine industry.

The award had given by Navalia’s director, Javier Arnau, to the representatives of the consortium and in the delivery were present the principal managers and personalities of the sector (Shipowners, associations, shipyards, etc.).

Grupo TPI and Rotacion magazine were the entities that convened the IV FINE 2019 PRIZES. These awards aim to promote the social recognition of companies, institutions and professionals in the maritime sector, and disseminate the performance of their work at the service of society and the Spanish maritime industry. A work that helps to promote the economy and the development of the sector.

The Ocean Master project (MULTIPURPOSE AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM FOR DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS AND ROLES) consists of design, develop and validate an unmanned multipurpose marine vehicle capable of performing missions in complex and highly environments.

In this way, a new generation of disruptive vehicles capable of providing great capabilities to its users, civilian or military, would be developed. Some of its missions are ocean exploration and observation, search and rescue, oceanic characterisation, marine resources identification, maritime traffic control, littoral combat, ports & offshore infrastructures, security inspection, maintenance, surveillance and interception.

OCEAN MASTER project has been selected in the FEDER INTERCONNECTA 2015 call and is co-funded by CDTI (Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness) and FEDER funds, throughout the Operational Programme for Smart Growth 2014-2020. It is developed in the regions of Andalucia, Galicia, Madrid and Murcia by a consortium composed of the companies: ELINCO, AISTER, GHENOVA, AID and SAES.

The seminar was held in the Spanish General Army Headquarters of Cartagena for two days. In the second of them, Javier Rasilla, CEO of AISTER, took part with a talk referring to the challenge of building platforms USV and UUV for the shipyards because the company is working on two projects of this type:

On the one hand, an USV platform for Autoridad Portuaria de Ceuta of 10 m in length and enclosed cockpit built in aluminium due to the adventages offered by this material for shipbuilding.

On the other hand, the aluminium shipyard is working on the Ocean Master project, a prototype of autonomous unmanned vehicle capable of navigating on the surface and under it. The project is funded by CDTI (Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial) and has the collaboration of AID, AISTER, Elinco, Ghenova and SAES.

Durante la jornada, los asistentes también pudieron escuchar las ponencias de otras empresas del sector como la consultoría Exsito, la ingeniería Ghenova, Industrias Ferri, Navantia… entre otras.

During the seminar, all attendees could hear the talks of other companies in the sector such as Exsito Consulting, Ghenova Engineering, Ferri, Navantia… amongst other firms.

This activity is part of a tenth of the twelve scenarios planned for this edition of Marsec that the Spanish Navy coordinates and organizes each year with the support of the Clúster Marítimo Español (CME). The mission is improving the coordination between different entities and joins efforts for future maritime security operations to be carried out successfully.

The general goals of Marsec18 are to verify the Spanish Navy capacity to coordinate and collaborate with other companies that work to guarantee maritime safety, to debug protocols for conducting security operations and knowledge of the maritime environment and consolidating relations between the different entities and police forces which form the maritime community..

ACRONYM: OCEAN MASTER PROJECT

PROJECT TITTLE: MULTIPURPOSE AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM FOR DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS AND ROLES. / VEHÍCULO AUTÓNOMO MULTIPROPÓSITO PARA DIFERENTES AMBIENTES Y ROLES EN OPERACIONES OCEÁNICAS.

The company AISTER, located at Vigo’s bay, is participating in the Ocean Master project, in which a multi-purpose autonomous vehicle for differents environments and roles will be developed.

The main objective of the Ocean Master project is to design, develop and validate an unmanned multipurpose marine vehicle capable of performing missions in complex and highly environments.

In this way, a new generation of disruptive vehicles capable of providing great capabilities to its users, civilian or military, would be developed. Some of its missions are ocean exploration and observation, search and rescue, oceanic characterization, marine resources identification, maritime traffic control, litoral combat, ports & offshore infrastructures, security inspection, manteinance, surveillance and interception.

The aim is to take advantage of the know how existing in naval, electronic and electrical industries, as well as auxiliary business of these sectors, so that all of them can also reactivate their activity and propelling the creation of new products, processes and services of strategic interest for the sectors mentioned.

At the same time, the Ocean Master project, will boost the leadership and international positioning in the sector of unmanned marine vehicles, generating wealth and employment in the Spanish industry.

The Ocean Master project consortium brings together 4 companies with great technical and technological capacity to tackle the tasks with all the guarantees:

ELINCO has a team of high quality professional technicians and experience to develop projects. Specializing in the design and execution of all types of electrical installations, the production of electrical panels, command and repair consoles for electromechanical equipment and products or services aimed at naval and industrial sector.

GHENOVA is an international multidisciplinary engineering that participates in large projects of high technological complexity for some of the world’s largest companies in the naval and offshore oil & gas, industry and energy, infrastructure, aeronautics and defense sectors. In nine years of history, Ghenova has positioned itself as a reference engineering in Spain, a company recognized in Europe and succesfully established in Latin America.

SAES is a highly specialized and internationally recognized company in the fields of electronics and underwater acoustics. Its main objetives are the desing, manufacture, assembly, installation, repair, manteinance, import, export and distribution of equipment, tools and electrical, electronic and acoustic equipment focused on underwater needs.

AISTER is a company specialized in marine aluminium sea works focused on Workboats, Maritime shipbuilding and Marinas. The aims of the company are the best building quality and constantly innovation in their activities: aluminium shipbuilding, marine interiors and marinas.

OCEAN MASTER project has been selected in the FEDER Innterconecta 2015 call and is co-funded by CDTI (Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness) and FEDER funds, throughout the Operational Programme for Smart Growth 2014-2020. It is developed in the regions of: Andalucia, Galicia, Madrid and Murcia by a consortium composed of the companies: ELINCO, AISTER, GHENOVA, AID and SAES. The end of the project is scheduled for March 2018 and its overall budget is of 2.138.782 €.
