Project

Unmanned Mooring Systems for Autonomous Shipping (OARS). (OARS)

OARS seeks to develop an unmanned mooring system for autonomous shipping. At this stage in the project, we seek to push TRL forward, develop a functional prototype, demonstrate this on-board a vessel in an active shipping environment to provide a concrete use case for the industry. Simultaneously, CRL will be moved forward through contract agreements with partners in the marine sector. Here we leverage the unique selling point that Flanders is the only jurisdiction in the world that permits projects on crewless self-navigating boats on inland waterways.
