MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J., Sept. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: OPTT) (“OPT” or the “Company”), a leader in innovative and cost-effective low-carbon marine power, data, and service solutions, today announced it is shipping two WAM-V® Unmanned Surface Vehicles (“USV”) to Remah International Group (“RIG”), a privately held and UAE headquartered company with a focus on military services. RIG, in its roles as OPT’s defense partner in the UAE, is expected to use these vehicles to highlight their expeditionary capabilities and ability for autonomous ocean operations.

Based on recent demonstrations, contract wins, and the increase of OPT’s fleet in the Middle East, OPT is planning to expand its presence in the region with the establishment of a sales and operations office and related strategic hires.

Jason Weed, SVP of Commercial Sales at OPT, emphasized the importance of the shipment, stating: “We are thrilled to strengthen our presence in the region, particularly in the UAE. This shipment underscores how OPT’s proven, commercially available solutions deliver exceptional value by providing cost-effective resilient and persistent maritime security. With our AI-enabled ocean technologies already delivering results, we see tremendous opportunity to accelerate adoption and expand demand across the region. We look forward to deepening our partnerships with RIG and others as we continue to drive OPT’s leadership in ocean security.”
