So just another way for Big Brother and his nanny state Nazi's to spy on, (watch over) his flock of sheople.

* Continuous coverage
* Wide coverage Greatly reduced capital costs
* Greatly reduced operational costs - no fuel, food or crew
* Elimination of errors due to human fatigue
* Removing people and expensive assets from harms way

Ocius aims to assist friendly governments and offshore operators make large efficiency gains - to do more with less - at the same time as removing people from harm's way.

Can't be that good if it's flying the "D" flag.

Hmmm. just a thought but does anyone want to buy some slightly used solar panels, or an electric motor in the Lake Mcquarie area? what is the law on salvaging an abandoned vessel anyway?

Legal Definition of abandoned , suppose it comes down to that.

I had someones drone crash in my backyard recently , wonder if I could have claimed that on grounds of privacy
except they trespassed and took it back while I watch from the window.

Okay here's my case for salvage, hypothetically, "I was sailing around on Lake Macquarie when I sighted a boat flying the D flag assuming it was in distress I went to investigate and discovered no crew on board, so to prevent a piloting hazard I took the boat under tow and claimed salvage on the boat", who thinks this is a just claim that would hold up in admiralty court?
