Yinson GreenTech and Zeabuz, a developer of autonomous maritime technologies, have signed a Letter of Intent to integrate autonomous and remote-control capabilities into Yinson GreenTech’s fleet of marine electric vessels.
The collaboration aims to integrate Zeabuz’s hardware and software algorithms into Yinson GreenTech’s marinEV fleet of electric vessels to provide intelligent, crew-optimised marine transportation.
Combining autonomous technologies with electric vessels is seen as a way of addressing the maritime industry’s long-term manpower challenges by reducing the number of crew members required onboard, while also improving the attractiveness of maritime jobs by introducing knowledge-based skill sets like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and remote operations.
“To fulfil Yinson GreenTech’s broader vision of building a net-zero world, marinEV believes in harnessing the power of sustainable innovation through strategic partnerships,” said Jan-Viggo Johansen, Managing Director of marinEV.
“Our collaboration with Zeabuz marks a significant step towards accelerating the adoption of autonomous solutions, which will not only enhance the safety and efficiency of maritime operations but also significantly reduce our environmental impact on waterways.”
