The world’s first autonomous, zero-emissions container ship is set to embark on its maiden voyage in 2018, delivering goods between Norwegian towns.
The vessel is currently being developed by chemical experts Yara and aerospace company Kongsberg.
In a blog post published on the Kongsberg website in May, the company revealed that self-driving ship will make its debut in the latter half of 2018 – transporting fertiliser from Yara’s plant in Porsgrunn to ports in Brevik and Larvik.
