In this edition of the In the Know podcast series, TME spoke with Saildrone CFO Barak Ben-Gal about the carbon savings that his firm delivers for clients. Using unmanned, automated wing-sail propulsion, Saildrone’s USVs can deploy from any dock and transit autonomously to the area of operation and navigate or loiter for a year or more at a time. Working for commercial enterprises and government organizations, they have sailed through hurricanes, conducted surveys in the Bering Sea, tracked maritime security threats in the Persian Gulf, and monitored the safety of migrant craft off the coast of Haiti.
In addition to operational advantages, Saildrone USVs have ultra-low lifecycle emissions, and their wind propulsion “avoids” 99.9 percent of the carbon that bunker-fueled survey ships would generate to carry out the same contract.

IN THE KNOW Podcast 27: Protecting Mariners in the Strait of Hormuz
In this episode of The Maritime Executive's podcast series, editor in chief Tony Munoz spoke with four top officers of Coalition Task Force Sentinel (CTF Sentinel), an eight-nation maritime security partnership that guards against malign state-sponsored activity in the Strait of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, Red Sea and Strait of Bab el-Mandeb, along with all points in between. The organization was created in the wake of the serious maritime security incidents in the Gulf of Oman in 2019, including the suspected limpet mine attacks on tankers in June 2019 and the Iranian seizure of the UK-flagged tanker Stena Impero in September.
Our conversation included Commodore Adrian Fryer of the British Royal Navy, the task force's commander; Lieutenant Commander Dudley Malster of the British Royal Navy, the head of its operations department; Lieutenant Commander Danielle Centeno of the U.S. Navy, its maritime trade officer; and Lieutenant Commander Charles Banks, the Task Force’s Public Affairs Officer. For more details on CTF Sentinel's mission, listen in.
