The final design of the all-electric, autonomous container ship known as the Yara Birkeland has now been completed, and testing has commenced at SINTEF Ocean’s 80 metre test tank facility in Trondheim, Norway.
A short-range, all-electric coastal container ship known as the Yara Birkeland, being jointly developed by the Norwegian firms Yara and Kongsberg Gruppen, is expected to operate largely autonomously by 2020 or so.
