Yinson GreenTech and Zeabuz AS have signed a Letter of Intent to integrate autonomous and remote-control shipping capabilities into Yinson GreenTech’s fleet of marine electric vessels.
The collaboration aims to deliver more efficient marine solutions by integrating Zeabuz’s hardware and proprietary software algorithms into Yinson GreenTech’s marinEV fleet of electric vessels. By combining autonomous driving technology with electric marine vessels, this collaboration aims to address the maritime industry’s long-term manpower challenges.
Additionally, it will aim to enhance the attractiveness of maritime jobs by introducing new, knowledge-based skillsets like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and remote operations. This aligns with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore’s (MPA) Industry Transformation Map1, particularly its focus on digitalisation.
Jan-Viggo Johansen, the Managing Director of marinEV, stated that to fulfill Yinson GreenTech’s broader vision of building a net-zero world, marinEV believes in harnessing the power of sustainable innovation through strategic partnerships.
Our collaboration with Zeabuz marks a significant step towards accelerating the adoption of autonomous solutions, which will not only enhance the safety and efficiency of maritime operations but also significantly reduce our environmental impact on waterways
… he said.
Øyvind Smogeli, the CEO and Co-Founder of Zeabuz, mentioned that by combining the power of electrification, onboard autonomy, and remote supervisory control, they were laying a strong foundation for the future of sustainable maritime operations.
