This has been a journey of discovery. Beyond working to unlock insights from the ocean MAS is showing how we can use data to make actionable and informed business decisions. Read more from IBM CTO Rob High:

We are continuing to stress all the systems to their limit and are learning a tremendous amount about how to design, build and operate autonomous vessels. The team hopes to be in Halifax by June 4-5. (2 of 2)

Over May 28-29, MAS developed an issue with the charging circuit for the generator starter batteries. On May 30, the team had to switch to the back-up navigation PC. ProMare has made the decision to divert to Halifax, Nova Scotia to investigate and fix these issues. (1 of 2)

We're more than 50% done with our journey and haven't seen many animals so far, just these dolphins which RS Aqua Ltd's hydrophone recorded. Can you spot them?

Today MAS left Horta, Azores to continue the crossing from the UK to USA. We will try to complete the 2225 mile voyage in 16 days. Start conditions were near perfect with light winds and little swell. This re-start was the first time the team have undertaken a “remote” start.

The switch is an isolation switch.
MAS is now in the Azores. The project lead, Promare, has identified the issue as a switch that failed. It is not essential for autonomous operation. The team has run tests, re-fuelled and are waiting for a bad weather system to pass the Azores before MAS resumes its voyage.

RT @andysc: For “switch” read “safety isolation switch”.., 240 characters sometimes isn’t enough ;)

MAS has developed a mechanical issue with its generator. The project lead, ProMare, made the decision to bring the ship in to the Azores to investigate and fix it. The IBM technology remains functioning. The team hopes to be back underway with the transatlantic crossing ASAP.
