The Towbot Range

Scale thrust to the mission.

A common architecture supports multiple power classes, control modes and energy strategies. Power class does not by itself determine delivered thrust, endurance or vessel suitability. Propulsor selection, hull interaction, battery sizing, environmental conditions and the approval basis are application-specific.

Configured Capabilities

What Towbot can be engineered to deliver.

These capabilities are presented as configurable or application-dependent. Each case is assessed against the vessel, operating profile and approval route.

Supervised Autonomy

Autonomous-assisted operation

Towbot is designed for supervised remote operation and autonomous-assisted functions such as approach, positioning and control support. A designated human operator retains command authority at all times.

Continuous Service

24-hour availability concepts

Duty cycling, charging strategy, battery sizing and fleet rotation can be designed for continuous port service and 24-hour availability. This describes the service architecture — not infinite endurance from one charge.

Cost Efficiency

Up to 50% operating cost reduction

Selected operating profiles may achieve operating-cost reductions of up to 50%. Each case is assessed against actual vessel movements, existing arrangements, energy requirements and crewing.
