The ship is expected to take 40,000 truck trips off the road every year.🛳️
within its maritime boundaries and Yara planned to make its cargo ship autonomous too.
Planned for operations in 2020, the project faced delays due to its unique nature and also the pandemic. But the company told CNN that it expects the ship to"set sail" later this year. Powered by a 7 MWh battery, the ship christened, Yara Birkeland is expected to travel at a top speed of 13 knots and will carry 103 standard-sized containers. It will be charged by the quayside, before moving into position for container loading and then set course for its destination,
Brevik, on the southern coast of Norway. With no crew on board, the entire journey will be monitored through three onshore data control centers, CNN reported. Initially, the loading of containers is scheduled to be done by humans but the company wants to make the entire operation crewless and will work towards making autonomous cranes and container carrying vehicles next. This is also the first time an autonomous cargo ship will tread Norwegian waters.
. But more importantly, since most of the electricity generation in Norway is hydroelectric, it will definitely help in reducing the carbon emissions of Yara's operations. The company estimates, this shift will take off 40,000 truck trips every year and reduce carbon and nitrous oxide emissions along with noise and dust that its trucks generate.
