STL Research are very pleased to announce their membership of the Future Autonomous at Sea Technologies (FAST) Cluster.
Centred in the Southwest, the FAST Cluster aims to accelerate innovation, nurture cross-sector partnerships, and drive sustainable growth in the UK’s future sea technologies sector.
According to Professor James Fishwick (Chair of the FAST Cluster), “Through open collaboration, networking, and a commitment to collective progress, the FAST cluster members are building a vibrant community, focused on delivering real – world outcomes in an emerging but strategically vital area for the UK.”
In confirming our acceptance into the FAST Cluster, Professor Fishwick stated “STL Research’s expertise and innovative approach make them a valuable addition to this mission, and we look forward to working closely with them as we continue to shape the future of maritime technology together.”
David Kirkley (Managing Director of STL Research) explained “STL are honoured to become a member of this auspicious and innovative community, and we believe our specialisation in motion-compensated personnel access systems and launch and recovery equipment, will be beneficial to the offshore industry in general, and, in particular, fellow FAST Cluster members such as Babcock, Fugro, Sonardyne, and Thales, to name but a few. Our Neptune PAS offers safe and efficient transfer of personnel and equipment to either fixed or floating offshore structures, and our Proteus LARs enables the safe launch and recovery of autonomous or semi-autonomous marine equipment, such as ROV, AUV, ASV, under local or remote control.”
