Abstract
AUTOSHIP – Autonomous Shipping Initiative for European Waters – aims at speeding-up the transition towards a next generation of autonomous ships in EU.
AUTOSHIP responds to the call topic MG 3.2-2018 by joining a whole necessary value-chain of global players to define, enhance and test in real environment a Next Generation of Autonomous Ships, integrating evolutionary as well as novel technologies. Building on partners’ advanced technologies and know-how, the proposed vessels will upgrade them and dramatically impact on businesses and competitiveness. In the meantime, the framework to make NGAS navigation possible and socially accepted will be better assessed with direct engagement of relevant authorities.
The project’s ambitions will leverage on advanced Key Enabling Technologies, solid industrial investments and business worldwide, along with participation in all major stakeholders’ organisations to deliver the first technology on the market in a short term. It is an ambition with a solid base in the involved value-chain and in the financial and commercial commitment, which makes AUTOSHIP a real market-oriented project.
