NYK Successfully Executes Historic Autonomous Shipping Trial Between China and Japan
In a groundbreaking achievement for the maritime industry, NYK Line has successfully conducted a pioneering trial of the world's first autonomous vessel, the Iris Leader, a 70,826-ton pure car and truck carrier (PCTC). This remarkable trial spanned from September 14 to 17, 2023, navigating from Xinsha, China, to Nagoya, Japan, and subsequently from Nagoya to Yokohama from September 19 to 20. Utilizing the advanced Sherpa System for Real ship (SSR) navigation system, the Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (MASS) trial showcased the vessel’s capabilities in real-world conditions. During the voyage, the SSR system monitored environmental data around the ship using existing navigational equipment, assessed collision risks, calculated optimal routes and speeds that balanced safety and efficiency, and conducted automatic navigation. This innovative trial marks a significant milestone in the evolution of maritime technology, setting the stage for future advancements in autonomous shipping.
