Sea Machines Robotics, a specialist in autonomous vessel control technology, has established a new dealer programme to support the company’s sales across global marine markets.
According to a statement, the programme involves several strategic partners which are enabled to sell, install and service Sea Machines’ range of intelligent command and control systems.
SM Series products, as provided by Sea Machines, deliver task-driven and computer-guided vessel control to marine operators, making advanced autonomy available for both small-scale and large-scale operations.

Included in Sea Machines’ deal network are US companies such as Navtronics and Marine Group Boat Works, Plymouth-based Pinpoint Electronics and Technology Ventures from the UAE.
Phil Bourque, Sea Machines’ Director of Business Development, said: “Establishing this dealer network ensures that customers have access to Sea Machines products and service on a global scale.
“We consider each dealer an extension of the Sea Machines factory team, as they are ready to support SM series products from initial sale through post-installation. We look forward to announcing additional dealers in the coming months.”
