USV Support Vessel

Predator is a proven and capable platform for Uncrewed Surface Vessel (USV) support operations, offering reliable, round-the-clock assistance to operators across a range of marine environments.

Operating from our home port in Lowestoft, Predator has successfully delivered 24/7 USV support, including offshore standby, intervention response, and operational assistance.

Operational Support Capability

Predator is available on a 24/7 call-out basis, providing rapid response for:

• USV breakdowns and technical support
• Maintenance intervention
• Pilotage in and out of harbours and restricted waters

Her performance and manoeuvrability make her well suited for close-quarters operations and escort duties in both inshore and offshore environments.

Personnel & Workspace

The vessel’s large, enclosed wheelhouse provides sufficient capacity to accommodate:

• USV pilots
• Engineers and technicians
• Support personnel

The internal layout allows for safe transit and effective coordination during maintenance and recovery operations.

Geographic Coverage

While operating primarily from Lowestoft, Predator is fully deployable nationwide, supporting USV operations across the UK coastline as required.

Certification

Predator holds a valid International Marine Contractors Association CMID (Common Marine Inspection Document), ensuring compliance with industry standards and making her suitable for deployment on offshore and windfarm projects.
