The pandemic pushes shipping towards more advanced ship automation technologies
The impulse, BlueMonitorLab notes, is not so much towards autonomous ships, but towards remotely controlled ships
September 14, 2020
BlueMonitorLab recalled that, as pointed out in a recent research by Nautix, while the use of low-cost staff at ship board, with all the consequences derived in terms of standard, generated a saving on the cost of labour 60%, push automation could reduce by 90% the cost of direct work on board, but generating other supply chains. The ship market is expected to high automation is expected to grow from 5.5 billion euros 2018 to 12.5 billion in 2030 and then record a real soaring, impacting on safety, ability to monitor load conditions, implement load measures energy savings, ensure the best performance of the engines, reduce human error and increase load capacity ships thanks to very small crews.
Also recalling that, according to a report by the World Maritime University relaunched by the ITF trade union, the introduction of ships to strong automation could produce a 22% reduction traditional maritime labour by 2040, BlueMonitorLab noted that however, the ITF does not take into account indirect market growth effect, for example, represented by the task forces, led by maritime directors and machine, which at each port of call will have to be able to carry out checks on automation systems and plants propulsion and navigation on board the units Automated.
