Woods Hole Group and Chance Maritime Complete Landmark 38 Day USV FAST Eddy Survey

The Woods Hole Group, in collaboration with Chance Maritime Technologies, has achieved a significant milestone by completing a 38-day uninterrupted FAST Eddy Loop Current monitoring survey in the Gulf of America, located 200 nautical miles offshore. This operation set a record for diesel-powered, continuously cruising uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) operations, covering over 4,000 nautical miles without stopping. The successful survey underscores advancements in marine technology and the importance of continuous monitoring of ocean currents for environmental and navigational purposes.
