2020 July – Hellenic Shipping News – Making ship systems smarter with simulationThe journey may turn out to be more important than the destination: the pursuit of vessel autonomy is already leading to smarter systems that can enhance safety, cost-efficiency, and environmental performance even on today’s vessels. Simulation technology is playing a key role in their development. Wärtsilä, as a simulation provider, took part in this project, which Mills describes as an attempt to establish “air traffic control at sea.” One key goal was understanding the data sharing needed between ports, vessels, and other stakeholders – such as ship service providers and onward logistics companies – to enable “just-in-time” sailing. Three hundred vessels were fitted with tools to collect and transfer data. Studying interactions between these vessels provided important insights into how sea traffic could be better managed to optimise vessel voyages and port calls – reducing fuel cost and emissions. But even with so many vessels participating, the number of times ships would meet each other physically would have been rather limited. With the help of the simulator network, they met virtually, giving researchers the opportunity to collect more data faster. |

2020 July – Ship Technology – Managing traffic in the Baltic SeaFinnish firm Wärtsilä has been contracted to upgrade the route-sharing systems of 50 tankers active in the Baltic Sea. The installations form part of BALT SAFE, an EU-supported project based around the concept of sea traffic management. The end goal is safer and more efficient shipping in the region, as Ross Davies reports |
