Looks like a good example of practicality/value using multiple, connected remote sensing tech (our favourite topic) between industry, academia and charity. Here the National Trust enabled safer remote structure inspection using robots (see our Rail Live post for the idea!) and drones with laser scanning/photogrammetry to manage assets at risk.

AUTONOMOUS TECHNOLOGY: UK and Japan host workshop to accelerate #maritime autonomy UK-based Lloyd's Register (LR) and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have hosted a four-day workshop in Japan to accelerate the development of an assurance framework for #maritimeautonomy and instigate the development of appropriate regional and international regulations. Tony Boylen, principal autonomy specialist at LR, said, “There is pioneering work taking place in maritime automation and LR is privileged to be involved in conversations with leaders in this field.” Naoto Nakagawa, designated principal researcher at the National Maritime Research Institute in Japan, commented, “We are very pleased that new possibilities have been brought about through interactions among stakeholders of the UK and Japan by the UK National Physical Laboratory and Lloyd’s Register.” Andre Burgess, partnerships lead for assured autonomy at NPL, added, “The recent meetings have highlighted both the level of innovation and future capability of these technologies as well as the importance of collaboration to accelerate the pace at which #autonomousships can be deployed operationally.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eP2X6gjf #Marine #Maritime #Electrification #Decarbonization #Sustainability #Environment #Technology #Transportation #EHMExpo #EHMXNA

🌟 Autonomous Ships 2024: A Promising Start in Sunny Copenhagen! 🌟 We’re excited to officially launch the Autonomous Ships 2024 Conference today, bringing together 100 industry professionals in beautiful Copenhagen. Highlights from the morning: - Malene Axelsen Mundt, Director of Maritime Regulation and Legal Affairs at the Danish Maritime Authority, warmly welcomed attendees to kick off the event. - Keynote by Professor John McDermid (University of York) explored Assurance and Regulation for Autonomy and AI in Maritime Applications. He shared insights from the Centre for Assuring Autonomy (CfAA) and the Assuring Autonomy International Programme (AAIP), highlighting Safe Operating Concepts, Requirements, and Performance Processes. The first technical session on Regulation, moderated by Erik Ingolf Tvedt (Danish Maritime Authority), featured: - Alexandros X.M. Ntovas (University of Southampton): On the IMO MASS Code, UNCLOS, and the human element in autonomy. - Signe Jensen (Simac): On the importance of knowledge sharing, competency requirements, and societal acceptance of unmanned maritime transport. - Marina Lesse (Naval Postgraduate School): On legal gaps in uncrewed systems, raising questions like “What does it mean to ‘navigate’?” The session wrapped up with a lively and interactive panel discussion, paving the way for more engaging discussions over the next two days. This afternoon, we dive into Business Models and Technical Systems for Autonomous Shipping. Stay tuned for more updates! 🚢✨ #MaritimeTechnology #RINA #IDAMaritime #AutonomousShips

90% of global trade is carried by sea - now imagine the future of that industry powered by autonomous vessels and green technology! This week we had the privilege to participate in the #SPINE project demonstration event, hosted by MSE International at the University of Plymouth. The event marked a pivotal moment in maritime innovation, showcasing the incredible progress in autonomous systems connectivity, communication and port energy modelling. A key highlight was the on water demonstration of autonomous vessel technology, a leap towards a more sustainable and decarbonised shipping industry. As part of the SPINE consortium, we played a key role in developing and testing these groundbreaking solutions. Special thanks to Lewis Seymour-Pugh for overseeing our involvement, and to all partners in our consortium, Frequentis and MarRI-UK for their collaboration over the past two years. The future of maritime is brighter, greener and more connected, thanks to initiatives like this. Here's to us all continuing to push boundaries in autonomous shipping, decarbonisation and sustainability. 🌍 #MaritimeInnovation #AutonomousShipping #GreenShipping #Sustainability #Collaboration #PortDecarbonisation

🌊 We're proud to announce our entry into the Eastern Mediterranean market with the sale of a REAV-28 Uncrewed Surface Vessel to ESI Ltd. Engitec Systems International Ltd. (ESI) in Cyprus! The zero-emission USV will support ESI's work on ecosystem restoration and environmental monitoring. Equipped with advanced sensors, the vessel will monitor critical water parameters in coastal and offshore waters. "ESI's selection of the REAV-28 further validates the platform's versatility and utility for uncrewed environmental monitoring," says David Hull, our Founder & CEO. "We're delighted to be working with ESI's expert team who have established an impressive track record in EU research projects." ESI plans to enhance the platform's capabilities through bespoke software development and advanced autonomous navigation features - the first step in building their specialist fleet of autonomous vessels. The delivery of 'ERV 1' is scheduled for January 2025, complete with comprehensive training and support to help ESI maximise the platform's potential across their diverse applications.
