1 MARITIME The Vessel for the Future Is it autonomous? Wolfgang Franzelius Head of Safety Technologies in Maritime Technology and R&D MUNIN Final Event 10 th and 11 th of June SAFER, SMARTER, GREENER

2 Automatic v.s. Autonomous Automatic means that a system will do exactly as programmed, it has no choice. Autonomous means that a system has a choice to make free of outside influence, i.e., an autonomous system has free will. (Brian T Clough; Wright-Patterson AFB) Some Questions Is an autonomous ship (operation): o Possible? o Useful? o Safe? o Accepted? o? 2

3 Autonomous Systems A new or emerging idea? Military Automotive Industry Subsea Airman First Class Michael Shoemaker/USAF/Reuters Mercedes reveals the F 015 concept at CES

4 MARITIME The connected ship 4 SAFER, SMARTER, GREENER

5 Automation in shipping: A journey 50 years old 1961: the first successful automated seagoing ship Bridge control of the main propulsion Centralized control system for machinery Focus on manpower reduction KINKASAN MARU 5

6 Digitalisation of shipping Internet of all things Software algorithms to handle large amounts of data Real-time sensor condition monitoring Worldwide coverage satellite communication Smart maintenance Automation and remote operations 6

11 MARITIME Efficient shipping Solutions for improved shipping efficiency 11 SAFER, SMARTER, GREENER

12 Efficient Shipping improving the utilisation of the resources Reduce inefficiencies Remove barriers in the system Cost to society Efficient resource usage Getting to the next level Radical change of the business 12

13 Efficient Short-Sea Shipping Effective modal shifts and infrastructure Reduced unit costs and lead time Supply chain integration Improved contract structures Advanced ICT systems Transparency and logistics management systems 13

14 Improved cargo handling and modal shift efficiency Zero emissions Fully automated Covers all modes Modular Reduces land use 14

15 Challenges Data capacity limitations Resilience, Availability and robustness of systems System integration headaches Data quality Cyber security Lack of standards Legal and commercial challenges 15

16 MARITIME The way forward Shipping towards SAFER, SMARTER, GREENER

17 Digital technology a catalyst for smarter shipping Digital technologies and communication will open up new opportunities Change established practices and behaviour in the supply chain Standardise of data formats, improve data sharing and systems integration Traditional competitive business models will be challenged 17

18 Pathways towards Safer, Smarter and Greener shipping Efficiency - Connectivity Autonomic? 60 % reduction in CO 2 emissions 90 % reduction in fatalities in shipping Maintain or reduce present freight cost levels Safe operation Advanced ship design Connected ship Future materials Efficient shipping Low carbon energy 18

19 The end is the start Questions Is an autonomous ship (operation): o Possible? o Useful? o Safe? o Accepted? Answers: An autonomous ship (operation): Is possible! Can be very useful! Has to be safe and secure! Will be accepted! New Questions: o When? o Who? o 20
