Autonomous Shipping Initiative for European Waters

Descrizione del progetto

Navi autonome di ultima generazione pronte al varo in Europa

Sebbene l’Asia abbia dominato per diversi decenni l’industria navale grazie a costi di produzione inferiori, l’Europa ha mantenuto una posizione leader nel mercato per quanto riguarda le imbarcazioni specializzate di alta qualità. Con l’ausilio dell’esperienza industriale e tecnologica di compagnie marittime europee leader nel settore, il progetto AUTOSHIP, finanziato dall’UE, mira a costruire e testare due navi a navigazione autonoma come prototipi per una flotta di future imbarcazioni completamente autonome. Lo schema include la rete di controllo costiero e il pacchetto tecnologico necessari per consentire la navigazione autonoma e comunicazioni sicure. Verranno eseguiti due test pilota per testare il trasporto delle merci lungo il corridoio baltico. Il progetto rafforzerà il settore marittimo europeo grazie al lancio di un mercato multimiliardario, che creerà posti di lavoro altamente specializzati e favorirà un trasporto marittimo più sicuro ed ecologico.

Obiettivo

While the shipbuilding market has been advantaging Asian lower-cost manufacturing in the last decades, AUTOSHIP will build around two EU industrial market and leading technology providers, such as Rolls Royce and Kongsberg, to create a stronger European cluster able to thrust a market worth Billions of Euros in the next decade, bringing new high-skilled jobs and a safer and greener transport in Europe.
AUTOSHIP will build and operate 2 R&A vessels and their needed shore control and operation infrastructure, reaching and going over TRL7. Testing will take place during two pilot demonstration campaigns addressing goods mobility from the Baltic Corridor to a major EU seaport and hinterland, which are most relevant areas with growing waterborne transport market demand in EU.
Doing so, it will speed-up the Next Generation of Autonomous Ships, by demonstrating in real environment Short Sea Shipping and Inland Water Ways autonomous vessels. The technology package will include full-autonomous navigation, self-diagnostic, prognostics and operation scheduling, as well as communication technology enabling a prominent level of cyber security and integrating the vessels into upgraded e-infrastructure. In parallel, digital tools and methodologies for design, simulation and cost analysis will be developed for the whole community of autonomous ships.
AUTOSHIP will help ship operators/owners to improve the economy of scale of their investments, to effectively gain competitiveness and renew their fleets, making them more competitive to replace road transport.
The project’s ambitions will leverage on advanced KETs, solid industrial, investment and business worldwide, participation in all major stakeholders’ organisations. The high ambition is to deliver the technology on the market in 5 years boosting ocean and intercontinental unmanned shipping. It is an ambition with a solid base in the involved value-chain and in the financial and commercial commitment discussed in this proposal.
