Ship Intelligence


Oskar Levander

Intelligent ship today

Fleet monitoring Decision support Weather routing

Onboard optimization (energy, power management, etc.)

Common controls


Oskar Levander

Condition based maintenance

E-Navigation

EHM on main components

AIS

Ship sensors

ECDIS

Intelligent ship tomorrow

Fleet optimization for best profit Total fleet routing (revenue (cargo), weather, current, ship performance, bunker prices, maintenance schedules)

Decision support

Remote control

(collision avoidance, risk mitigation, emergency reaction)

Autonomous operation

Common automation standard and user interface E-Navigation AIS ECDIS

Fully sensored (ship awareness), feedback to operator EHM on all ship systems (machinery, ship systems, payload systems,..) Predictive maintenance Remote expert support

Remote Controlled Ships - Features No deck house

More cargo

New possibilities • New layouts • Rethinking the ship design

Lower costs No hotel systems • Water production • Water heating • AC • Sewage treatment • Etc…

New level of Automation Communications

Lower power demand Redundant machinery


Oskar Levander

• Lower resistance from reduced LWT • Lower hotel load • Etc…

Remote Control or Autonomous? Remote control • Port operations • Navigation in congested areas • Advanced manoeuvring situations • ...


Oskar Levander

Autonomous operation • Navigation at open sea • Total ship traffic overview • Route and speed optimisation • ...

Safety As safe or safer than a conventional ships! • New technology to aid the navigation of ships • Avoid human errors • Redundant machinery with predictive maintenance • Automatic safe mode if loss of control occurs Unmanned operation is not suited for all types of ships – we will still have seafarers at sea in the future

Early Opportunities with Remote Operations Remote support and operations will enable lean ships with reduced crew


Oskar Levander

LEAN RoRo


Oskar Levander

Market: • RoRo cargo: 1500 lanemeters, double stack containers on cassettes and trailers • Short routes in Northern Europe • Existing fleet is old and in need of replacement • Small ship will enable traffic from ports with limited cargo volumes • Operators are today forced to focus on larger ships and to concentrate operation on fewer but larger ports • Very low cost needed to make small ship feasible

Design Philosophy - LEAN Low operating costs • Minimum crew - 1 person on bridge at all times - 3 person rotating shifts - 1 multi purpose deck hand • Remote machinery support - Expert support from shore centre • Automatic mooring • No ”hotel” crew onboard - Pre fabricated food prepared ashore - Washing and cleaning done in port


Oskar Levander

Low fuel cost • High efficiency • Low lightweight • LNG • Modest operating speed

Design Philosophy - LEAN Low building cost • Lean design • Number of systems minimised • No steam system • No diesel system • No water production – bunker water in port • No sewage – return sewage to port • HVAC in deckhouse with direct electricity (no steam or cold water circuit) • Small deck house • One cargo deck, no internal roro ramps • No enclosed cargo deck – lower steel weight
