  • The memorandum of understanding established a framework for ABS and Saronic to work toward certification of Saronic''s autonomous capabilities and classification of its autonomous ships.
  • ABS said it would review larger Saronic ASVs against safety, reliability, and performance standards while the companies collaborate on autonomy requirements.
  • The agreement was framed around supporting safer adoption of maritime autonomy across defense and commercial missions.

Saronic builds autonomous surface vessels and command software for U.S. and allied maritime missions. Its portfolio spans Corsair, Mirage and 180-foot Marauder, supported by shipbuilding operations in Louisiana. In July 2026 it selected Brownsville for the planned $3.2 billion Port Alpha shipyard.
