10 KU Leuven, campus Group T Leuven Campus within Faculty of Engineering Technology Special focus on Intelligent Mobility Ecorace Challenge Team, Solar Team, Formula Electric Belgium, CQS Racing Team,...

11 The Ecorace Challenge Why? Europe: approx km! Still sufficient spare capacity BUT polluting vessels, PM and NO x, dated drivetrains and infrastructure, outdated image lack of interest from young technicians AND THIS WHILE IWN can be more environmentally friendly and sustainable than other transportation modes and can be more cost-efficient

12 The Ecorace Challenge How? Organisation: collaboration between Student competition (bachelors and/or masters) Development of a sustainable and environmentally friendly vessel with some potential innovations (L: max 6m, H: max 0,4m and W: max 1,4m) 2 classes: cargo and non-cargo

13 The Ecorace STIMULATING INNOVATION Collaboration university-industry Student internships New ideas are tested (potential innovations) New applications (New) networks IMPROVING EDUCATION Competition for students Learning by doing Make students more research minded (creative) Learning to work in a team Gain a lot of experience

20 MARINTEK Ørnulf Jan Rødseth MARINTEK, Norway Senior Research Scientist Department of Maritime Transport Systems Research: Maritime ICT

21 MARINTEK Questions: Are the successes of MUNIM leverage-able towards inland shipping? What will probably differ, which costs, benefits, findings would probably change? What is the impact to expect?

22 Schedule 14h00 14h30 15h00 15h40 16h10 16h40 17h10 17h40 18h00 Introduction: L-Mob and KU Leuven MARINTEK Waterwegen en Zeekanalen NV/ nv De Scheepvaart and UGent Break Vlaams Instituut voor Mobiliteit Tri-vizor Blue Line Logistics General discussion Reception

23 NV Waterwegen en Zeekanalen / De Scheepvaart and UGent Ir. Lieven Dejonckheere Waterwegen en Zeekanalen NV Head of department of Ship canal Prof. Dr. Eric Van Hooydonck UGent, Belgium Research professor Department of European, public and international law Research: Maritime law

24 NV Waterwegen en Zeekanalen / De Questions: Scheepvaart and UGent Are infrastructural changes needed and why? What are the communication (ship-ship, shipinfrastructure, infrastructure-infrastructure) and legislation issues? Can the results of the study about autonomous vessels provide input for the Seine-Schelde trajectory? Or the other way around; which outputs would be useful for the Seine-Schelde trajectory

25 Schedule 14h00 14h30 15h00 UGent 15h40 16h10 16h40 17h10 17h40 18h00 Introduction: L-Mob and KU Leuven MARINTEK Waterwegen en Zeekanalen NV / nv De Scheepvaart and Break Vlaams Instituut voor Mobiliteit Tri-vizor Blue Line Logistics General discussion Reception

27 Vlaams Instituut voor Mobiliteit MsC. Johan Boonen Vlaams Instituut voor Mobiliteit Project Manager Watertruck+

28 Vlaams Instituut voor Mobiliteit Questions: Which guidelines, potentially useful for autonomous ships are already provided in the ship building standards? What would be necessary to make those ships autonomous? What would be the potential traffic flows that could use autonomous ships? Would it be possible to automate more than only the navigating part?

29 Schedule 14h00 14h30 15h00 15h40 16h10 16h40 17h10 17h40 18h00 Introduction: L-Mob and KU Leuven MARINTEK Waterwegen en Zeekanalen NV/ nv De Scheepvaart and UGent Break Vlaams Instituut voor Mobiliteit Tri-vizor Blue Line Logistics General discussion Reception

30 TRI-VIZOR Dr. Ir. Bart Vannieuwenhuyse TRI-vizor (Co-founder) Research Director

31 TRI-VIZOR Questions: How can we integrate autonomous vessels into multimodal transport? Would there be a need of hubs or do customer quays suffice? When will it be economically beneficial for companies to switch to autonomous vessel transport? Size of cargo, time of transport, costs of transports General comparison with other alternatives; what would be the benefits or potential struggles of autonomous vessel

32 Schedule 14h00 14h30 15h00 15h40 16h10 16h40 17h10 17h40 18h00 Introduction: L-Mob and KU Leuven MARINTEK Waterwegen en Zeekanalen NV/ nv De Scheepvaart and UGent Break Vlaams Instituut voor Mobiliteit Tri-vizor Blue Line Logistics General discussion Reception

33 Blue Line Logisitics Antoon Van Coillie Blue Line Logistics Managing director

34 Blue Line Logistics Questions: Innovation in your business model through autonomous ships: which costs would it reduce and how much, what are other benefits? Would you gain a sustainable competitive advantage? Any customer requirements, or requirements of your own regarding the design and or working principles of the autonomous vessels Which flows could be made autonomous? Or which flows could be added?
