We have a lot to offer

The growth in maritime traffic and ship sizes brings challenges in terms of safety and efficiency in maritime shipping. Our experts in nautical science, maritime IT and maritime technologies work in the Sea Traffic and Nautical Solutions department. For example, they clarify for you whether existing port layouts are suitable for future ship developments: Which technologies are required for the safe and efficient operation of highly automated and autonomous ships? How can you control and monitor ships efficiently from land? What use cases are there for maritime robotic systems in port and ship operations? And how can you use best practices from nature for maritime technologies?

Our offer:

  • Use of ship simulators as a test and validation environment for innovative nautical technologies and processes
  • ENC-based software framework for industry-oriented rapid prototyping of nautical digitalization innovations
  • Nautical safety analyses for planning approval purposes and port layout assessment
  • Own high-performance cluster with various nautical data sets for maritime AI training and testing
  • Own modular fleet in the field of maritime robotics (autonomous surface vehicles, ROV, drones) for testing and demonstration purposes
  • Autonomous systems laboratory incl. 3D printing machine park for hardware-related software development and implementation of technical prototypes
  • Bionic feasibility studies for maritime technologies

Actual Projects

 

i-Master

The goal of the i-MASTER project is to research and develop an intelligent learning system (ILS) with maritime learning analytics and adaptive learning capabilities.

 

CRISTAL

Climate resilient and environmentally sustainable transport infrastructure, with a focus on inland waterways

 

AUTOFLEX

Introduction of small, autonomous and emission-free inland vessels

White Papers and Studies

 

Innovative server for digital nautical charts

Until now, electronic nautical charts have primarily been provided for on-board navigation systems. The Octopus ENC Server developed at the CML, on the other hand, can be seamlessly integrated into existing maritime processes.

 

AR Deployment on Board - New White Paper Published

The use of augmented reality offers great opportunities to perform maneuvers even more safely and efficiently than before. Read our new white paper to find out what opportunities are opening up and how we support companies in implementing them.

 

New study on autonomous ships

Arguments for autonomous shipping can be found in more favorable cost structures and more punctual travel times. The authors of our new study have examined these relationships in detail. Read more in the extended outline of the study and order the full study!
