Next generation people-technology transformation specialist, SeaBot Maritime, has announced two strategic appointments to its executive team.
Recently unveiling its new identity, reflecting its position at the forefront of maritime sector people-technology integration, these appointments further cement SeaBot Maritime in its growth strategy.

Jon is a qualified Master Mariner, Royal Navy Specialist Navigator (SpecN) and MCA Certified Instructor as well as an expert in uncrewed vessel operations.
