Autonomous navigation technology tested

摘要

As part of e-navigation testing, Wartsila Corp collaborated with Hamburg Vessel Co-ordination Centre (HVCC) and Carnival Maritime to test a just-in-time (JIT) arrival concept. Aida cruise ships used Wartsila Navi-Port to seamlessly exchange data between ship and shore under real-life conditions, to optimise port arrival times in 2019. Carnival modified voyages on its cruise ships AidaSol and AidaPerla to match requested arrival times and berthing capacity in the Port of Hamburg, Germany, reducing bunker costs and emissions throughout the route.
