On the shore, a platform supply vessel of 8,000 km was successfully controlled remotely. The ship giant Wärtsilä joined the intelligent ship research and took an important step.
Wärtsilä's first successful remote control of a platform supply vessel 8,000 km away
On August 21, 2017, Wärtsilä cooperated with Gulfer Marine Gulf, Inc., through a satellite communication at the San Diego Control Center in California, USA, for a long distance of 5,000 nautical miles (about 8,000 km) in the North Sea of ​​Europe. The 80-meter platform supply vessel "Highland Chieftain" was tested for remote-controlled ship operation. The remote control lasted for 4 hours. The combination of combined dynamic positioning and manual joysticks completed the series of high-speed and low-speed operations. operating.

Wärtsilä began developing a dynamic positioning system with remote control capability as early as 2016, but this is the first time it has been tested on a marine vessel. The Highland Chieftain was previously equipped with a Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum bag for navigation, automation and dynamic positioning systems, as well as a driver package.

At the time of testing, Wärtsilä added additional software to the dynamic positioning system to connect the route data to the shore-based workstations in the United States via satellite. Most importantly, the standard marine satellite communications were used for testing, and communication between the ship and the remote operating workstation did not use any land-based technology.

Andrea Morgante, head of the digital business of Wärtsilä Shipbuilding, said, “The first and most important obstacle to achieving smart shipping is to develop efficient and reliable remote control and monitoring capabilities, as well as broadband limitations and network security. The tests show that we are moving in the right direction, proving Wärtsilä's leading position in the development of marine technology. We are fully developing smart ships, because these technologies are crucial for the future."

Gulfmark Senior Vice President Ashley Robinson also said, "We believe that accepting new technologies is very important. We are very happy to cooperate with Wärtsilä because smart ships represent the future of the industry."
