Yara International has teamed up with Kongsberg to build the world’s first autonomous and zero-emission ship.
The Oslo-listed company plans to construct a 100% electric container feedership, which will initially operate as a manned vessel in 2018.
But it is expected to be capable of performing fully autonomous operations from 2020, Yara said.
It will be named Yara Birkeland after Yara’s founder, famous scientist and innovator Kristian Birkeland.
