USV PIONEER
The Design
Founded by brothers Neil and Mike Tinmouth in 2021, ACUA Ocean is a UK-based startup designing and developing uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) for ocean monitoring and data collection.
ACUA’s autonomous systems deliver enhanced open ocean platform-as-a-service capabilities for the launch and recovery of sensor and system payloads.

It outperforms traditional crewed monohulls three times the length and ten times the tonnage.
The design also supports a large moonpool with 20-foot ISO container mounts with up to 4 tonnes of capacity, giving customers flexibility over their payload design.
