MS Hrönn
Hrönn - the first full-size, unmanned sea-ship for offshore work.
Developed in cooperation with the British company Automated Ships Ltd. and the Norwegian manufacturer of ship electronics Konsberg.
The start of construction is planned for January 2017 at the Norwegian shipyard Fjellstrand, and the ship is due to arrive in 2018.
Before entering service, the ship will be tested at a special tank for testing automatic ships near Trondheim, under the supervision of the DNV classification society and the Norwegian maritime authorities.
The ship will be able to be used for research works, cooperation with unmanned submersibles as well as a ship supplying offshore installations and fish farms or a security ship. It will also be equipped with an installation to fight fires at sea.
It is planned that initially it will work in remote control mode from the accompanying unit. During this time, algorithms and procedures for use in autonomous swimming will be refined.
