Guidelines for testing maritime technologies
Denmark is one of the most digitalized societies that is ready to allow experiments.
Maritime digitalization
These years, there is a strong focus on the development of new shipping technologies and especially the utilization of digital opportunities. Autonomous technologies for ships are in great progress, and at the same time, the Danish Maritime Authority is working on clarifying which conditions the authorities can create for the future use of digital solutions in shipping.
Test activities in Denmark
The Danish Maritime Authority experiences great interest in test activities several places in the country.
Regulation and reports about maritime technology
All current rules for ships are created on the basis that the vessel is manned. This results in challenges in relation to future autonomous ships that can be partial or completely unmanned.
Focus on autonomous ships
New technologies on ships have been known for decades, but because of a global focus on digitalisation with great data volumes, advanced technologies are lining up.
