Autonomous ships in active operation as Yara Birkeland marks first 6 months in service.
Jon Lorentzen Nordgard from Massterly will be talking about autonomous vessels. In addition to reducing costs, autonomy can become an important piece in the energy transformation from fossil to renewable propulsion systems in shipping. Several autonomous vessels are now in the testing phase to achieve unmanned commercial operations. Massterly will share with you their thoughts on how autonomy will impact the shipping industry.
BIMCO and industry partners will contribute to constructive discussions of a number of important topics such as guidelines for autonomous ships and 2020 fuel challenges at the 100th session of the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (MSC 100) in London on 3 – 7 December 2018.
Since 2006, the average container ship has doubled in size to 4,580 TEU and ships with a capacity of more than 12,000 TEU has accounted for 51% of the fleet’s capacity expansion. Today, just 626 ships provide 36% of the fleet’s capacity, and the trend is set to continue as the large ships dominate the order book.
Revised emergency response procedures for ships carrying dangerous goods was one of the many items discussed at IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (MSC 99). Autonomous ships, security and adoption of amendments to mandatory instruments were also on the agenda.
