One Sea Autonomous Maritime Ecosystem https://www.oneseaecosystem.net/
One Sea - Global Industry Standards
One Sea - Test Areas DIMECC opens new autonomous maritime test area in Finland Jaakonmeri test area, the first to be globally open to anyone wishing to test autonomous maritime traffic, vessels, or related technologies - Sept 2017
One Sea - International Influencing The seven strategic directions point us now towards more effective rule-making and implementation processes by integrating new and advancing technology to respond to our challenges, among others, to increase ship safety, including addressing new emerging technologies such as autonomous vessels Secretary General Kitack Lim Nov 27, 2017 Autonomous Ships on the International Maritime Organisation agenda June 2017
Highlights - EU Autonomous ships are here to stay, and the impact will only grow in the future. New technologies and innovation are slowly reshaping the entire maritime sector, from manufacturing to ferries to value networks. We are dedicating 2018 as the year of multimodality to promote the integration of modes, combined transport solutions and the most efficient use of the single EU transport area. A fully integrated transport system will be highly automated and therefore safer and more efficient. In such a system, an autonomous vessel will arrive in port and thanks to the internet of things, the cargo itself will be aware where it needs to be and by when.

What s in it for Europe? Digitalisation is global, scalable and vastly improves people s lives including health, safety and efficiency It is a threat and an opportunity Shipping is part of global trade and logistics, looking forward to be significantly streamlined Disruption most probably comes outside the usual players Business model and technical disruption Europe is well placed for leading development globally Digital enhancement of existing marine players operations Significant European industrial players, high education level
Suggested Action Strategic cross-sector / multi-modal industry-led initiatives needed Aiming at global leadership in autonomous shipping Collaborative arrangements in and outside of Europe Learn from local ecosystems in Finland, Norway, etc. and connect them Supporting Marine & Shipping business and technical transformation Supplementary and basic education, focus on ICT and AI Incentives for implementation Governmental vessel orders to be zero emission & autonomous Active communication Promoting open dialogue with European citizens on ethical questions related to robotisation
