5 What is Ship intelligence Asset management Optimisation & decision support Remote & Autonomous operations Enabling technologies

6 Shipping trends - Operation Integrated part of supply chains

7 Shipping trends - Management Asset management Health management

8 Integrating ship and shore

9 Shipping trends - Business Consolidation New Players & Digital alliance

10 New roles in shipping? Owning Running the business Managing

11 Goals of ship intelligence Integrated transport systems Transparent business performance Data to value Efficient and safe operations Automated and Streamlined functions Health and performance Personnel management

12 Container revolution Ship intelligence revolution?

13 Unmanned vessels

14 Unmanned trend in society It is not IF, but WHEN

15 Why Unmanned

16 Cost structure General cargo annual costs 27% CAPEX 38% Manning Insurance Stores Maintenance 2% 4% 7% 2% 3% 17% Management & Administration Lubricating Oils Fuel

17 Remote controlled ships - Features More cargo No hotel systems No deck house Lower power demand Redundant machinery

18 Energy reduction Lower operating speed? Lower weight: ton Wind resistance: ~1% saving Reduced hotel load: kw

19 Cost [cnt / ton * nm] Cost - Transport dwt general cargo vessel 2,50 Transport cost (cost / ton * nm) 2,00 1,50 1,00 0,50 0,00 Conventional Unmanned Speed [kn] -22%

20 Safety Safer than before Fewer accidents No piracy victims Human error factor Humans away from danger

21 Cyber security

27 Rules and Regulations SOLAS

28 Legal aspects Marine liability Product liability

29 Roadmap Reduced crew with remote support and operation of certain functions Remote controlled unmanned coastal vessel Autonomous unmanned ocean going ship Remotely operated local vessel Remote controlled unmanned ocean going ship Unmanned ships will most likely start with local applications!

30 Towards unmanned Ship Intelligence will provide the means to make ships more efficient and leaner Remote support and operation combined with increased level of automation will reduce the number of crew required Rolls-Royce plc Oskar Levander

36 AAWA initiative - objectives Create competence for remote controlled vessel in commercial use Create hotspot for waterborne remote control technology Develop commercially Viable short to medium term solutions

37 AAWA partners

38 Research areas TECHNOLOGY SAFETY & SECURITY SOCIETAL & LEGAL ACCEPTANCE ECONOMY & BUSINESS MODELS

39 Project timeline PHASE PHASE PHASE Concept definition Solution development and focused research Proof of concept(s)

40 Aawa phase 1 conclusions Operation: Will be hybrid of remote control and autonomy and will depend on the type and function of the vessel. Technologies: Technologies to make remote and autonomous ships a reality exist. The task is to find the optimum way to combine them reliably and cost effectively. Safety: Ships will be as least as safe as existing vessels. There is a potential to reduce human based errors but at the same time new types of risk will arise and will need to be addressed. Legislation: can be changed if there is a political will. Change will start at a national level and extend to the global level. The question of liability reliability remains open. Business: It s not about ships or equipment but the shipping business as whole remote controlled and autonomous ships has the potential to redefine the maritime industry and the roles of the players in it.
