Projects

20


The SIMAROS project Safe Implementation of Autonomous and Remote Operation of Ships

▪ Unmanned offshore vessel

– Technology development

– Development of risk assessment tools and

standards

– Ambition: Enable national regulations and

class to allow for commercial unmanned

operation

– Building planned 2018

▪ Partners:

21


The AAWA projectAdvanced Autonomous Waterborne Applications

▪ Areas of focus:

– Technology

– Safety and security

– Societal & legal acceptance

– Economy and business models

▪ DNV GL focus:

– Class requirements and assurance of

safety and performance

▪ Partners:

The Autosea project

▪ Areas of focus:

– Sensor fusion

– Collision avoidance

– System architecture

▪ DNV GL focus:

– Competence on core

technologies

▪ Partners:

23

AUTOSEA


External project: Autonomous ferry Trondheim

– Project scope:

– Worlds first autonomous passenger-

and bicycle ferry

– Crossing the channel in Trondheim

– Driven by student projects

24

AUTOSEA


External project: Yara Birkeland

• Max speed: 10 knots


The class perspective:How to ensure safe implementations?

26


Areas where DNV GL will have requirements

▪ Sensor capabilities

▪ Machinery design & maintenance

30







▪ On-shore control centre

31







▪ On-shore control centre

▪ Cyber security

32


Is it legal?

▪ Short answer: No

▪ IMO Conventions: STCW, SOLAS, COLREGS, MARPOL, …

– Written for manned operation

– References to operator/captain/officer

– Topic on the agenda at IMO (MSC98/20/2 and MSC98/20/13)

– Process will take time

▪ Flag-states can, however:

– Provide exemptions within national waters

– Make bi-lateral agreements with other states
