Optimisation and digitalisation

Autonomous, digital and smart ships could be the next revolution within shipping.

There is growing interest in autonomous, digital and smart ships, and both the industry and research say that this could be the next revolution within shipping.

The development of new technology for automation of ship operations will also create possibilities to improve the safety and operation of existing ships.

Digital shipping refers to innovation and new technology that optimises, streamlines or provides increased safety for ships, crews or the environment with the help of digital solutions/equipment, tools or systems.

Digital shipping will challenge conventional shipping and expand established boundaries between ship and land.

The Norwegian Maritime Authority is involved in a number of projects testing new technology, and we are looking forward to help you adapt your technolgy to existing regulations.
