Ferry vessel

Leading with automated operations for fuel efficiency and safety

Our work in autonomous ship technology began with automating ferry operations, including auto-crossing and auto-docking technology. These technologies reduce fuel use and the burden on crew performing vital but repetitive tasks. We also provide engineering solutions for low-emission hybrid or zero emission ferries. Our integrated solutions reduce running costs and emissions, while our advanced thruster and control technology widens the weather window for operation.  

Powering performance with proven advantages:

  • A suite of proven automation technologies for safety and efficiency
  • Low emissions solutions to meet environmental regulations and standards
  • Integrated information management systems for safety
  • Extensive refit capacity to make older ferries suited for modern operation
  • A range of ready-to-build Ropax ferry designs for multiple operational profiles

Autonomous operations are coming

The ferry sector has been a key driver in remote and autonomous technology and operations. We are pioneering the future in this exciting new frontier.
