Autonomous Vessel Technology Enhances Oil-Spill Response and Recovery Efforts
Autonomous vessel technology is making news headlines around the world for its role in helping to revolutionize the maritime industry, especially in the shipping sector. It’s easy to see why – some reports, like McKinsey’s, predict that within 50 years there will be 50,000-TEU autonomous ships hauling two to five times the amount of cargo today. While exciting, this type of buzz doesn’t reflect the full spectrum of what’s possible across other maritime industries.
