Autonomous Ships
The worlds first autonomous electric powered ship, Yara Berkland, will be in service on the Norwegian coast next year. Read all about it here. She will apparently replace 40,000 diesel truck journeys on southern Norway roads. And quite a few commercial seamen will not be required of course.
The full release is here, but two days ago Garmin announced they had purchased Navionics. Now we may see the dangerous Sonar Chart issues finally fixed.
It will be interesting to see how Raymarine enjoy having to buy Navionics charts from their biggest hardware competitor. Ouch, that must hurt.
