Drones Away

The Port of Antwerp covers more than 120km2 and it is now being monitored by six autonomous drones. The port authority has launched its ‘D-Hive drone-in-a-box’ network to enhance security by providing an airborne perspective to provide better berth management, infrastructure inspections, oil spill and floating waste detection activities, and to enhance security. There will be 18 daily Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone flights.
