Port of Antwerp trials fixed-wing drones
The Port of Antwerp has conducted field trials of a fixed-wing drone fitted with a camera, evaluating the technology’s potential to enhance safety and security by providing the port authority with detailed images of developing incidents in real-time.
In partnership with aerospace company Sabca, the trial tested out four realistic emergency situations: a container fire, the rescue of a person in distress on top of a windmill, the rescue of a drowning person and the rescue of a man overboard.
