What’s expected to be the first autonomous container ship is at the beginning of a two-year pilot.

Fast, seaworthy and beautiful to behold, the pilot cutter is the perfect combination of form and function - a thoroughbred perfectly adapted to a life in one of the Britain's most treacherous stretches of water.
