Denmark launches world’s first test of captainless ships guided from land
SMRTR summary
Denmark has launched the world's first remote pilotage test, allowing pilots to guide vessels from shore using real-time data. The 18-month trial by DanPilot and Danelec will cover up to 50 operations in Danish waters. Pilots in a control center will steer vessels using continuous navigational data streams. This approach aims to enhance safety, reduce emissions, and improve efficiency. If successful, the model could be adopted globally, potentially transforming the shipping industry.
