Partnership aims to enable commercial autonomous marine traffic

“We’re heading towards a future where seafaring is considerably more energy-efficient and more sustainable. Digitalisation also means constantly improving safety. One Sea is a uniquely qualified ecosystem to which we’re now able to bring our own remarkable seafaring expertise and the perspective of shipowners. This is a win-win equation,” said Tiina Tuurnala, CEO of the FSA.

The century-old FSA represents 25 Finnish shipping companies and over one hundred ships while One Sea Ecosystem gathers together leading international companies at the top of their individual fields, who are all working together towards enabling autonomous shipping by 2025.

Lead by lead by DIMECC, its partners include ABB, Cargotec, Ericsson, Finferries, Finnpilot Pilotage, Meyer Turku, Rolls-Royce, Tieto and Wärtsilä.

DIMECC sees its work as an innovation platform of Finnish Industry. The ecosystem is financed by Business Finland and the participating companies.

“We’re extremely satisfied to gain the competence of the Finnish Shipowners’ Association for our rapidly developing cooperation. The One Sea Ecosystem already presents the absolute top in developing international seafaring, but the FSA raises our cooperation to an even higher and robust level,” said Päivi Haikkola, DIMECC Ltd.
