Álvaro Platero, vice-president of Astilleros Gondán, describes the shipyard's 100-year history on the Ría de León, tracing its evolution from small wooden fishing boats to the USV Challenger, now in Norway and awaiting entry into service.36:32 The Challenger operates without crew for up to 30 days, conducts subsea inspection work, and promises up to 90% reduction in emissions and operating costs.35:13 Norwegian maritime authorities and classification society DNV are developing the regulatory framework governing the vessel.36:36 Gondán's founder was also the first to fit a steam engine to a fishing boat in the region, establishing a pattern of technological firsts the yard continues today.30:45
