Quick decision context for procurement relevance and maturity.
The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) has awarded a contract valued at 8,400,000 EUR for lightweight Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) services to support pollution response from EMSA oil spill response vessels (OSRV) and multipurpose maritime surveillance from patrol vessels, starting with preparatory activities in late 2025 and operations from 2026 onwards. These services include providing aircraft, pilots, communications, and data integration with EMSA's systems to enhance real-time maritime situational awareness during oil spill responses and other missions. The contract emphasizes standby readiness for emergencies, with RPAS deployable on OSRVs and potentially the European Aquatic Surveillance system.
