Finland’s only electric jet ski maker plans move into sea drones

The company says it has already held positive talks with the Finnish Defence Forces about the next stage of development.

Finland’s only manufacturer of electric jet skis is planning to turn its products into sea drones. According to HBL, the company wants to adapt its existing technology for a new maritime use.

The firm has already held positive talks with the Finnish Defence Forces about the project. That suggests the idea is being considered not only as a consumer product, but also as a possible tool for defence-related use.

No timetable or scope for the plan has been made public. For now, the confirmed point is that the company is looking to expand beyond jet skis, and that the Defence Forces have been part of the early discussions.
