The Mayflower Autonomous Ship
ProMare is building the first full size autonomous unmanned research ship, Mayflower. The vessel will take the same 3220 mile route the original Mayflower used 400 years ago. It will use a state-of-the-art hybrid wind, solar and diesel propulsion systems for the journey, and will also gather data about the condition of the ocean.
Exploration Projects
ProMare is conducting deep sea research projects all over the world. We focus on ultra deep exploration. We recently dived Hornindalsvatnet (Lake Hornindal) in Norway, Europe’s deepest lake, and Europe’s deepest point. To mark the occasion we placed a Norwegian flag on the lake bottom. The main discovery was a small white fish.
