Schiebel Secures New RPAS Contract with EMSA

Schiebel has been awarded a new multi-year service contract with the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) to provide Remotely Piloted Aircraft Services (RPAS) in support of European Union member states. The contract will aid in emission monitoring and maritime surveillance operations across the continent.

This is the third consecutive time Schiebel has been awarded a contract with EMSA, after initial agreements in 2018 and 2021. The new contract, which spans up to four years, consists of two fixed years with an option for an additional two-year extension.

Since 2018, the S-100 has conducted over 1780 deployment days for EMSA and  operated across Europe, in Croatia, France, Finland, Denmark, Spain, Estonia,  Romania, Lithuania, Iceland, Germany and Belgium. Stationed either on land or on  ships, the S-100 performs general night and day maritime surveillance, search and  rescue operations and oil spill detection, as well as monitoring of sulphur content of  ships’ emissions to ensure compliance with the International Maritime Organisation  (IMO) limits.

The CAMCOPTER® S-100 can carry multiple payloads with a combined weight of up  to 50 kg. Due to its unique and proven nature, and its ability to fly slowly and hover, it  is ideally suited for maritime operations.

“We have been supporting European maritime authorities for almost six years now and  are extremely proud to continue our success story with EMSA. It proves once again,  that the availability and reliability of the S-100 is unrivalled,” said Neil Hunter, Head of  Global Sales for Schiebel.
