Kongsberg applied sciences utilized in inland waterways autonomy trial included Autodocking, Autocrossing and automated navigation methods.

Following proper on the heels of its latest efficiently demonstration of distant and autonomous applied sciences on the Eidsvaag Pioner cargo vessel working off the coast of Norway, Kongsberg Maritime has now efficiently accomplished a dwell inland waterways autonomy trial in Belgium.

Cargo vessel completes landmark autonomous voyage

The take a look at vessel, Zulu 4, a self-propelled inland waterway pallet shuttle barge owned by Blue Line Logistics NV, was outfitted for remote-operated and autonomous navigation as a part of the EU Horizon 2020 EU analysis program AUTOSHIP.

As a part of the take a look at, Zulu 4 maneuvered and navigated on unrestricted waterways and in addition demonstrated berthing and unberthing functionality. For the trial, the vessel was upgraded with onboard management know-how, whereas an onshore distant operation middle (ROC) offered assist. A security crew was onboard the vessel throughout the take a look at.

The Zulu 4 accomplished a 16.5-kilometer circuit ranging from a port in Niel on the Rupel River. The vessel entered a busy sea canal earlier than traversing locks and passing a number of bridges in addition to a yacht membership and marina.

Kongsberg applied sciences used within the trial included Autodocking, Autocrossing and automated navigation methods. The firm has additionally developed cloud-based communications methods and superior simulations to check and be sure that the vessel operated safely and optimally.

“We are delighted with the performance of the Zulu 4 on what is a challenging route through the busy Belgian waterways,” stated Pål André Eriksen, Senior Vice President, Remote & Autonomous Solutions, Kongsberg Maritime. “The course that the Zulu 4 completed provided an opportunity to test our technology in a real-life situation, where numerous maneuvers were performed successfully and safely.”

“The test run provides all partners within AUTOSHIP with essential experience and data, which can help us advance the adoption of remote-controlled and autonomous technology in the maritime sector,” Eriksen added.“Together with last week’s successful demonstration of a coastal cargo ship in Norway, we have proved that these technologies are applicable across different vessel types and suited to a variety of operations”.

“The fitting out of Zulu 4 with digital technology from Kongsberg Maritime and its testing is a major step forward to achieving autonomous operation of inland waterway barges,” stated Antoon Van Coillie, CEO, Zulu Associates, developer of the Zulu pallet shuttle barge design. “This will enable the business to reply to the triple challenges of zero emission transport, actual modal shift and the looming employees scarcity disaster.

“Kongsberg Maritime is a very strong partner and their extensive maritime know-how benefits tremendously the development of digitalization on inland waterways,” he added.

In the trial, underneath distant monitoring from the ROC, the crew and vessel needed to present situational consciousness, engine and equipment monitoring, berthing/unberthing and maneuvering in port. The identical duties have been demonstrated underneath autonomous management, together with collision avoidance, grounding avoidance, transit crusing and automated mooring. Zulu 4 additionally demonstrated the flexibility to modify between autonomous operation and remote-controlled operation.

The profitable take a look at of the Zulu 4 barge verifies the maturity of key enabling applied sciences and helps construct the real-world information required to guarantee the security and safety of autonomous operations on European waterways to regulators and prospects, says Kongsberg.
