Brazilian maritime logistics and port operator Wilson Sons initiated a proof-of-concept drone delivery program for offshore logistics operations in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, starting trials on April 6, 2026. The initiative involves Speedbird Aero operating drones to deliver and collect documents for platform supply vessels, with flights covering approximately eight kilometers and carrying lightweight items up to five kilograms within nine minutes. All required approvals were secured from Brazilian authorities, including the National Civil Aviation Agency and the Department of Airspace Control, ensuring regulatory compliance for the pilot. Rodrigo Lopes, Operations Manager at Wilson Sons' shipping agency, highlighted the milestone as a breakthrough for port and logistics innovation, directly supporting decarbonization efforts in Brazil's offshore energy sector. Edwardo Valverde, General Manager of Offshore Support Base Operations at Wilson Sons, emphasized the technology's role in enhancing operational efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions for partners.
