We are looking back on an eventful autumn in SFI AutoShip, such as this September visit to NCL Svelgen at Trondheim Havn container terminal in Orkanger. Researchers received a tour of the vessel and terminal, with useful input for our Use Case 2 on Short sea container shipping.

Many thanks to researchers and research partners in SFI AutoShip, who recently gathered in our fall workshop. We look forward to seeing both researchers and industry partners at the SFI Days 25-26 October!

Ocean Autonomy Cluster organized a visit by the Minister of Trade, Jan Christian Vestre at NTNU Nyhavna May 9th. We were happy to get the opportunity to present our SFI AutoShip Centre, the new MIDAS competence building project and the NTNU Shore Control Lab.

SFI AutoShip was presented at the 4th International Conference on Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships arranged as part of the International Maritime and Port Technology and Development Conference. The main focus of the presentation was on the research actions within safety and risk
