unexpected horizons

Vesper Marine broadened the scope of its AIS expertise in 2011, when New Zealand’s Environment Southland Regional Council asked for a virtual aid to navigation that would mark storm-battered Tarapunga Rock in Doubtful Sound. Vesper’s resulting Guardian system impressed Stan Honey, technology director for the 34th America’s Cup, and in 2013 and 2017, Vesper helped define official America’s Cup racecourse boundaries. Vesper performed similar services for the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race, and has helped clients, including the New York Power Authority and the Port of Auckland, protect remote assets and identify shipping hazards.
