Second Saildrone to carry out seabed survey in Cayman

The first vessel, Saildrone 3001, an uncrewed surface vehicle working to map Cayman’s seafloor, is currently in George Town harbour undergoing a Port State Control inspection by the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry, a division of the Cayman Islands Maritime Authority.
