Balearic government deploys underwater ROV for coastal surveillance The Balearic government has introduced a new underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to strengthen its coastal monitoring capabilities across the islands’ waters. The CHASING M2 PRO is capable of carrying out inspections of port infrastructure and monitoring anchorage areas and posidonia meadows at depths of up to 300 metres. The new kit forms part of a comprehensive coastal surveillance system operated by PortsIB, which currently comprises 22 vessels, qualified inspectors with enforcement powers, a centralised control centre, and aerial drone operations conducting ten-hour daily patrols. The unit conducts daily inspections across all Balearic islands, with particular focus on anchorage monitoring and charter vessel activity. Since June, 82 compliance notices have been issued, primarily concerning expired documentation, incorrect declarations and charter contract violations.
