Maritime servos assisted crews with inspection and equipment handling around boats and landings. A dock-mounted reel could lower a tethered camera beside a hull while the servo operated the controls from solid ground. The robot used the same civilian body as other service models. Recovered equipment can support the city's river trade if it remains serviceable.
Waterside work exposes equipment to conditions different from a dry shop floor. Contact surfaces, covers and fittings need attention. A camera can help inspect a submerged area without asking the robot or a person to enter the water, while the fixed reel and boom support its weight and cable.
Old maritime servos kept the broadcast assembly used by the rest of the platform. Some surviving units remain near abandoned ports and service sites. After conversion, an independent synth can choose work with fishers or transport operators. Clean food handling stays separate from dirty salvage equipment even when both use the same landing.
