Robotics, automation, and other next-generation tools are unlocking new ways to build autonomous and unmanned vessels — but there’s no playbook yet. Shipyards are actively learning how to build these vessels quickly, at scale, with new tooling and a retrained workforce.
This panel brings together the builders, shipyard operators, and technology providers doing that work to talk about what it actually takes: financing and planning major infrastructure investments, installing new tooling on the shop floor, and preparing people to run it.
As demand grows for autonomous and unmanned vessels built faster and at greater scale, speakers will share a boots-on-the-ground view of standing up these capabilities inside new and existing yards — and what it really means to build the fleet of the future.
