ADNOC will introduce a remotely operated unmanned RoRo vessel
Ro-roAbu Dhabi-based ADNOC Logistics & Services has unveiled the UAE’s first Remotely Operated Landing Craft Vessel. Developed with SeaOwl, the 60-metre double-ended RoRo vessel uses advanced AI and satellite-linked control systems and can be operated remotely.
The vessel’s design eliminates the need for onboard crew accommodation, reducing weight, improving fuel efficiency, and enabling round-the-clock operations. Its AI-enabled route optimization is expected to deliver up to 30% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to conventional vessels.
Construction of two prototype vessels began by the end of 2025, with delivery planned for Q4 2026, followed by sea trials and safety validation in UAE waters. Through its business units - Integrated Logistics, Shipping and Services - ADNOC L&S delivers energy products and solutions to more than 100 customers in over 50 countries. SeaOwl is a French company working with tele-operation and automatization of maritime services.
