Autonomous (un-)berthing is on
Successful completion of a pilot project: In conjunction with the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Akishima Laboratories and MOL Ferry, the carrier MOL announced the end of a demonstration test (from March to April 2021) for the jointly developed auto berthing and un-berthing system at an actual pier in Oarai Port, Japan.
The large-size car ferry "Sunflower Shiretoko", which has a gross tonnage of more than 11,000 t and is owned by MOL Ferry, performed the trial. (cd)
