The aim of the Ferry Go! project is to develop an autonomous ferry transport
\nin the German-Dutch Wadden Sea. Autonomous ships represent a future prospect
\nfor the maritime industry and are being trialled worldwide in initial pilot
\napplications. However, the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site is a particularly
\ndifficult area for autonomous shipping due to its dynamic changes, the tide and
\nthe shallow depths in some places. <\/p>\n
The Ferry Go! project marks the start of the development of autonomous
\nshipping in the Wadden Sea. This topic, which is new to the region, is being
\nworked on in cross-border co-operation from the start. Ferry Go! is a high-tech
\nand at the same time implementation-orientated innovation project. This
\nincludes concrete ferries and pilot routes from the mainland to the Wadden Sea
\nislands, practical test trips with a test ship and the development and utilisation
\nof artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n
A consortium of nine project partners was put together for Ferry Go!,
\nconsisting of Wadden Sea shipping companies, innovative development companies,
\ntransfer organisations and a research institute, supplemented by associated
\npartners. In a workplan consisting of 15 workpackages, the project partners
\nwill work closely together to develop the necessary steps for autonomous ferry
\ntransport in the Wadden Sea. In addition to technological issues, this also
\nincludes legal, economic and logistical requirements as well as questions of
\nhuman-machine interaction and acceptance by passengers and staff.<\/p>\n
The expected results of Ferry Go! should form
\nthe basis for investment decisions in (partially) autonomous ferries for future
\nisland transport, also beyond the participating shipping companies. The planned
\ninvolvement of all stakeholders responsible for future autonomous ferry
\ntransport in the Wadden Sea is essential for this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","pr-category":[277],"pr-priority":[288],"pr-stat":[254],"class_list":["post-40897","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry","pr-category-energy-climate","pr-priority-a-more-innovative-programme-area","pr-stat-new"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/40897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pr-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-category?post=40897"},{"taxonomy":"pr-priority","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-priority?post=40897"},{"taxonomy":"pr-stat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deutschland-nederland.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pr-stat?post=40897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
