There are NTNU, Kongsberg Maritime, Marintek, Maritime Robotics and Kongsberg Seatex as in cooperation with the Trondheim harbour, has taken the initiative to that the fjord becomes a “testing laboratory” for førerløse – or autonomous – ship.
– This should be a facilitated stretch where everyone can be to test the technology, which needs to, and to get the whole industry to the good, ” says managing director Gard Ueland, Kongsberg Seatex to the smp.no.

– Will characterize the utilization of shipbuilding activities
More automated ships are in the wind as never before, and on Tuesday next week open transport minister Ketil Solvik-Olsen, a conference that marks the start of the Norwegian Forum for Autonomous Ships.
It is claimed that the development of such vessels will revolutionize the shipping industry.
– Havnasjonen Norway will now get the opportunity to be the first in the development of new knowledge and solutions that will characterize the utilization of shipbuilding activities all over the world to come, it was in the invitation to Friday’s selection.

More benefits
Lower emissions, lower operating costs and better security are among the benefits that pulled out. It is also expected that the technology can be used to improve both security and operations on the existing vessels.
at the same time, there is a need to adapt the laws for shipping to the new technology.

Met unmanned vessel
After the agreement was signed in Trondheim, norway Friday bar trip out on the fjord at NTNU-vessel Gunnerus. Along the way they got that was on board for a demonstration, involving a meeting with an unmanned vessel. In addition to the professionals were the lead both in Sjøfartsdirektoratet and the Norwegian coastal administration to the present.
It’s already done a lot of testing of autonomous ships in the trondheim fjord, but the area is now more accessible for different actors. The proximity to the heavy research institutions such as NTNU and Marintek and a transparent fjord with relatively little traffic, is among the advantages of the trondheim fjord.

Development of the Sunnmøre
Rolls-Royce which has the headquarters for its marine business in Ålesund, is among industriaktørene that is far ahead in the work with the new technology.
product manager for automation and controls Jann Peter Strand is among the speakers at the lanseringskonferansen next week.
We collect knowledge in many areas. While the actual technology developed in large degree in Norway, the Sunnmøre. Therefore, it is very gratifying when we now find that also the Norwegian research community and the authorities are positive that we can test our solutions in Norwegian waters, says Jann Peter Strand in the Rolls-Royce in a press release.
To test in the Trondheim
Rolls-Royce has already collaborated with NTNU for several years, and has plans to use the research vessel Gunnerus in order to test a system for dynamic positioning (DP).
Rolls also have a simulator for the testing of such vessels at its headquarters at the Norwegian Maritime competence Center (NMK) in Aalesund.
