The video presents Electric Blue, a modular container feeder design, introduced by Rolls-Royce, where gensets, fuel, batteries and even crew quarters, are housed in easily swappable containers.
The modularisation makes sense at a fleet level, where individual vessels can be optimised for specific routes taking advantage of standard interfaces to swap modules to meet the requirements of customers, ports and environmental legislation. A virtual bridge is located below cargo comprising automatic look-out and decision support with intelligence based on advanced analytics, making it autonomous operation-ready.
