The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) has commenced the use of remotely piloted drones in the Straits of Gibraltar to monitor sulphur and nitrogen emissions from all passing ships. The Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) is a Camcopter S100 unmanned helicopter and each unit is equipped with an emissions sensor that collects data before indicating any non-compliance to trigger an inspection for an infringement.
