Keppel to develop its first autonomous vessel for operations in Singapore.
KEPPEL Offshore & Marine , through its wholly-owned subsidiary Keppel Singmarine, will develop an autonomous tug that will be operated by Keppel Smit Towage.
It is expected to be one of Singapore's first autonomous vessels when the project is completed in 4Q 2020. To develop the autonomous tug, Keppel O&M has secured a grant of up to S$2 million from the Maritime Port Authority of Singapore under its Maritime Innovation and Technology Fund.Chris Ong, chief executive officer of Keppel O&M, said:"We are proud to be at the forefront of innovation with the development of autonomous tugs that are commercially viable.
The project will involve modifying a 65 MT tug by retrofitting advanced systems such as position manoeuvring, digital pilot vision, as well as collision detection and avoidance. An onshore command centre will also be set up to remotely control the tug.Quah Ley Hoon, chief executive of MPA, said:"Autonomous vessels are the next exciting phase of development in the maritime industry and in Maritime Singapore.
Keppel O&M is also partnering M1 to leverage the telco's ultra-low latency 4.5G network connectivity to establish standards and data transfer links for the ship-to-shore communication, and support mission-critical Internet of Things maritime applications.
