At Morild Interaktiv, we are thrilled to share our involvement in an exciting initiative at UiT - The Arctic University of Norway, where groundbreaking research on autonomous and remote ship navigation is currently underway. This project, hosted at the onshore operation center (OOC), marks a significant stride towards integrating advanced maritime technologies with real-world applications.
The research program at UiT is focused on the simulation of autonomous and remote ship navigation. This innovative approach allows for the comprehensive testing of critical factors such as situational awareness, data collection, and collision avoidance. These elements are crucial for the safe operation of mixed environments where autonomous, manned, and remotely operated vessels interact.
Below are some design drawings of the remote navigation station, where Human-AI-Technology-Regulation interactions will happen. Actual operations on training remote vessel navigation will start in the 4th quarter of 2024, under “UiT Autonomous Ship Program”.
