Chance Maritime Technologies

Autonomous Vehicles

Company overview

Chance Maritime Technologies is a provider of long-endurance, high-power uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), offering autonomous maritime solutions for commercial, government, and academic clients. The company’s USVs are designed for extended missions—operating continuously for 20 to 30+ days—while delivering kilowatts of power to onboard sensors. These vessels are equipped with features like gyro stabilization, payload racks, moon pools, and high-bandwidth satellite communications, enabling remote operations for applications including hydrographic surveying, fisheries monitoring, environmental research, and disaster response. Notably, Chance Maritime's USVs have been utilized in projects like the Florida Seafloor Mapping Initiative and collaborations with Louisiana State University for deploying underwater robots.

Operating on a service-based model, Chance Maritime offers their USVs for lease, providing end-to-end support including vessel operation, payload integration, and data collection. This approach allows clients—ranging from government agencies to academic institutions—to access advanced maritime capabilities without the overhead of owning and managing the vessels themselves. By handling the complexities of vessel operation and maintenance, Chance Maritime enables organizations to focus on their core research and operational objectives.
