Following a successful autonomous ship test by a major shipping company, the biggest challenge for autonomous ship technology to become mainstream lies in gaining the trust of cargo owners and regulatory authorities. Under the EU-funded AUTOSHIP program, a 13-hour test journey off the coast of Norway marked a significant advancement in maritime autonomous technology. Companies like Kongsberg Maritime and Samsung Heavy Industries are making strides in the field, showcasing successful tests on autonomous vessels and the challenges of gaining regulatory approval for unmanned or remotely operated ships.
