After a 4 year break (thanks to Covid) the bi-annual Oceanology International trade event returned to the ExCel London Exhibition Centre in London’s Royal Docks.
As the exhibition is focused on marine technology the Royal Victoria Dock in East London provides a perfect location for demonstrating various equipment and technologies.
The number of larger, crewed, vessels was down on previous events as the shift towards un-crewed vessels continues, the following vessels were noted in Royal Victoria Dock:
| Fugro Orca USV |  |
| Kommandoren |  |
| Solent Guardian |  |
| Rani |  |
| Marshall Art |  |
| Thame |  |
| CEiiA Orca USV |  |
| Seafloor Systems EchoBoat-240 USV |  |
| Maritime Robotics Otter Pro USV |  |
| Teledyne Oceanscience Z-Boat 1800RP USV |  |
| L3harris C-Worker 7 USV |  |
| Swathe Services USS202 USV |  |
| GEOD BALI USV200 |  |
| L3harris C-CAT 3 ASV |  |
| L3harris CW79 USV |  |
Solent Guardian operated by Briggs Marine and Thame operated by Port of London Authority were both returning visitors to the event.
Other returning visitors are the sailing ship Kommandoren operated by Hays Ships and the yacht Rani.
The survey vessel Marshall Art operated by B Marshall Marine was a first time visitor as was the Fugro operated SEA-KIT X-class 12m USV Fugro Orca.
