Scope
4 countries, 2 months
Subject
First autonomous tug — “Optimus”
The ask

Document a live engineering milestone — the first autonomous tug boat — across four countries and two months, while the programme itself was still being proven at sea.

The approach

A production built to move with the engineering schedule rather than against it. Small crew, long lead access, and a narrative built around the people making the calls rather than the specification sheet.

Why it matters commercially

It established the working relationship inside the maritime and logistics sector that later produced Titan — and it demonstrates the thing corporate clients most need to believe: that a broadcast crew can be embedded in a sensitive technical programme across multiple territories without becoming a liability.
