Demystifying autonomy

The third International Ship Autonomy and Sustainability Summit will take place at Nor-Shipping 2022 on 5 April.

“Autonomy is a hot topic, but, for many, a challenging one to get to grips with,” said Sidsel Norvik, director, Nor-Shipping.

“Developments are moving fast and it can be difficult to keep pace and understand the implications for business. This summit will help clear the fog; covering the key regulatory, technology and business developments, while also diving into how increased digitalisation, automation and autonomy can unlock significant environmental gains.”

Demystification

The event, organised in collaboration with Norwegian Forum for Autonomous Ships (NFAS) and EU’s Directorate General for Transport (DG MOVE), will gather together thought leaders and key industry stakeholders to share developments, enable progress and demystify the topic.

The day-long summit will be held in Nor-Shipping’s Hall E, in Lillestrøm, on the conference stage and is a ticket only event. This year it will return to a physical format, after the 2020 event was forced online due to coronavirus restrictions.

This year’s outing will see panel discussions moderated by Ørnulf Jan Rødseth, NFAS Manager and an acknowledged expert on autonomous ship technology, alongside regulatory updates, regional analysis and expert industry forecasts.

In addition to the programme of panel sessions and talks, marine operations from the Mayflower Autonomous Ship will be streamed throughout the day. A special drinks reception will also take place immediately after the planned programme.
