PNO Consultants - Europe’s Post

Autonomous ships, equipped with cutting-edge systems capable of making decisions independently, promise remarkable fuel and crew efficiencies. The Autoship H2020 project, led by Marco Molica Colella from CiaoTech - Gruppo PNO – PNO Group, has successfully demonstrated these innovations on two vessels, achieving key milestones towards #zeroemission #shipping. With comprehensive digital upgrades and successful pilots in short sea shipping and inland waterways, Autoship H2020 paved the way for a greener maritime future. Moving forward from the project’s achievements, next steps will include further refining autonomous shipping innovations, and increasing their application within the #maritime industry. To achieve this, new projects have been launched to build on Autoship H2020’s successes. One such EU-funded project, called SEAMLESS Project, will focus on enhancing autonomous shipping technologies such as remote control. Another EU-funded project, called ReNEW, will introduce an innovative autonomous barge, the ZULU X-barge, to demonstrate resilient inland water transport through digitisation.

The shore side of transitioning to autonomous shipping 🚢 Kongsberg Norcontrol has successfully delivered the maritime domain awareness solution to a remote operation centre (ROC) in Wintam, Belgium, as part of the groundbreaking research and development project Autoship H2020. This empowers the ROC in facilitating autonomous vessel operation, marking a significant step forward in the autonomous transition. - Unlike ship-centric systems, a maritime domain awareness solution offers a broader view of the maritime environment, empowering shore-based operators with comprehensive situational awareness, says Todd Schuett, Business Innovation Manager, Kongsberg Norcontrol Autonomous shipping offers a host of transformative benefits – enhanced maritime safety, reduced accidents, optimized vessel design, and minimized carbon emissions. By transferring thousands of truckloads to waterways, we're reducing traffic congestion and paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future. AUTOSHIP is backed by a consortium of experienced partners and funded by Horizon Europe, the EU's flagship program for research and innovation. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dRNeDvrK

If you look at the infrastructure, it's again all human-centered." ".... On that technological aspect, technology-wised, a lot needs to happen still, in order to facilitate autonomous shipping." " [The benefits of autonomous shipping are:]... for one, it's addressing the problem of personnels' ships shortage, that's clear. Second, the job of a captain or boatmaster will be more attractive and will change. [For example, in place of 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, they can work 1 week and the rest of the month off, for instance for medical conditions or fir their family.]" "[On how the future of autonomous shipping will look like in 10 years,] The regulations will evolve, there will be a market opening up in the foreseen future...You will definitely see a segmentation in how far the technology will be applied but, overall, you will see much much more of autonomous or highly automated vessels in the Western European inland fleet, and Seafar will play a major role on that...." "We are going to open up a control center i' Germany, where we are going to remote control the first vessels on the Rhine by the end of the year." https://lnkd.in/eRitRUET

Check out this groundbreaking development in the shipping industry! Major players have successfully tested autonomous cargo vessels, paving the way for a future where ships traverse the seas without crews onboard. This technological leap could revolutionize maritime transport, but there's still work to be done. What are your thoughts on this development? Do you think autonomous shipping is the future, or do you have reservations about the technology? #cargoshipping #shoppingautomation

Autonomous Charging for Swedish Ferries Operational in 2026! Zinus AS and METS Technology have unveiled an ambitious plan to revolutionize the charging infrastructure for Swedish road ferries. Their collaboration will bring forth a fully autonomous charging tower in Finnsbo, Sweden. This tower aims to streamline the charging process for vessels operating on the road ferry route between Finnsbo and Skår. The tower will supply up to three megawatts, which is the equivalent capacity of 12 fast chargers for cars! 🚗⚡ Trafikverket, the Swedish Transport Administration, is electrifying its ferries as part of the Vision 45 plan for a climate-neutral ferry service by 2045. The new autonomous charging pole has to contribute in achieving this goal. https://lnkd.in/e3Eqs37R #MaritimeTech #AutonomousCharging

We are delighted to introduce a new outcome generated as part of the Autoship H2020 project! Within the project, our coordinating team at CiaoTech - Gruppo PNO conducted an assessment of the #externalcosts associated with autonomous shipping, specifically focusing on the Autoship H2020 #IWW use case study. The #CostBenefitAnalysis provided by Marco Molica Colella and Anastasia Azarko from CiaoTech - Gruppo PNO shows that autonomy, combined with greener ship designs, offers financial gains, increased cargo capacity, safety improvements, and emission reduction and facilitates a modal shift from road to inland waterways, intercepting additional demand. Thus, comparing autonomous ships to trucks, waterborne transportation remains more sustainable in terms of external costs. Want to learn more?
