Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022002746A1] The present invention relates to a system (10) for performing an operation in an aquatic organism containing structure (3) of an aquatic organism breeding farm (1), wherein the system (10) comprises an autonomous vessel (50) and a vessel station (20). The vessel (50) comprises a body (51) and a propulsion system (60) for moving the vessel (50) relative to, and in physical contact with, the structure (3). The vessel (50) further comprises a navigation system (70) for controlling the propulsion system (60). The navigation system (70) comprises an orientation sensor (71) for measuring a parameter representative of the current orientation of the vessel (50), a depth sensor (72) for measuring a parameter representative of the current depth (D) of the vessel (50) and a route planner (75), wherein a central processing unit (73) is configured to control the propulsion system (60) based on information from the orientation sensor (71), the depth sensor (72) and the route planner (75).
