Description: Rolls Royce and the led Advanced Autonomous Waterborne Applications Initiative (AAWA) believe the future of cargo transportation is autonomous and they have published an 88 page white paper to prove it.
The company outlined its vision of remote controlled cargo ships at the Autonomous Ship Technology Symposium in Amsterdam in 2016, claiming unmanned vessels would be cheaper to operate and would have more space for cargo.
Speaking at the Symposium Oskar Levander, Rolls-Royce, Vice President of Innovation – Marine, said:
“This is happening. It’s not if, it’s when. The technologies needed to make remote and autonomous ships a reality exist.
The AAWA project is testing sensor arrays in a range of operating and climatic conditions in Finland and has created a simulated autonomous ship control system which allows the behaviour of the complete communication system to be explored and we will see a remote controlled ship in commercial use by the end of the decade.”
