MacGregor Webinar | Intelligent solutions for unmanned harbour tugs
The international shipping industry is facing significant challenges with the need to increase safety, efficiency and sustainability. Remote controlled and autonomous electrified tug operations will significantly reduce costs for shipping companies and port operators, increase the safety of manoeuvres in narrow harbour basins and reduce emissions.
As a strong partner of the FernSAMS Joint Industry research project, MacGregor accomplished the challenge of developing an unmanned robotic handover system that enables a safe towing connection. In addition, the project has proven the value of our in-house developed Marine Data Engine that manages bi-directional data to enable remote control of the entire towing process.
The FernSAMS project is part of the research program on next-generation maritime technologies sponsored by the Germany Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWI).
Webinar duration: 45 minutes.
