    • Analyzing the Feasibility of an Unmanned Cargo Ship for Different Operational Phases 

      Bellingmo, Pauline Røstum; Wille, Egil; Nordahl, Håvard; Mørkrid, Odd Erik; Holte, Even Ambros (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The maritime industry has begun to look into autonomous ships as an alternative to conventional ships due to growing pressure to reduce the environmental impact of maritime transportation, to increase safety, to mitigate ...
    • Autonomous ship concept evaluation – Quantification of competitiveness and societal impact 

      Nordahl, Håvard; Nesheim, Dag Atle; Lindstad, Elizabeth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The prospect of large-scale international adoption of autonomous ships has led to expectations of reduced costs and emissions for waterborne transport of goods. This is commonly attributed to the possibility of removing ...
    • Autoship D2.1 - Complete supply chain mapping & identifications of interactions between SSS and IWW demonstrators 

      Wennersberg, Lars Andreas Lien; Nordahl, Håvard; Bolbot, Victor; Theotokatos, Gerasimos (Research report, 2019-06-01)
      A generic supply chain model for a Short Sea Shipping (SSS) use-case and an Inland Waterways (IWW) use-case is developed through an analysis of their respective supply chains. The supply chain models for each of the two ...
    • Evaluation of an autonomous, short sea shipping feeder-loop service through advanced simulations 

      Tangstad, Espen Johansen; Mørkrid, Odd Erik; Nordahl, Håvard; Krause, Stefan; Mateienko, Denys; Dæhlen, Jon; Johanson, Kenneth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Traditionally, container-freight being shipped from central Europe to the coast of Norway has been transported either by road, or by larger containerships to central ports. For the past 3 years the AEGIS consortium has ...
    • A gap analysis for automated cargo handling operations with geared vessels frequenting small sized ports 

      Merz, Mariann; Grøtli, Esten Ingar; Mørkrid, Odd Erik; Tangstad, Espen Johansen; Fossøy, Synne; Nordahl, Håvard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      With the Yara Birkeland, the world’s first autonomous cargo ship developed for commercial use, nearing regular unmanned operation, it is crucial to assess the availability and readiness of unmanned cargo handling solutions. ...
    • Improving safety of interactions between conventional and autonomous ships 

      Rødseth, Ørnulf Jan; Wennersberg, Lars Andreas Lien; Nordahl, Håvard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Automatic controllers work best when the system they control can be sufficiently well modelled. This is a problem for control of autonomous ships in mixed traffic situations where the autonomous ship interacts with ...
    • Levels of autonomy for ships 

      Rødseth, Ørnulf Jan; Wennersberg, Lars Andreas Lien; Nordahl, Håvard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      This paper gives a summary of previously published papers on the definition of autonomy for ships, how this relates to different crewing regimes, and the terminology to be used. A conclusion is that autonomy should be ...
