The company also believes that autonomous ships will be appearing in service within just 10 years. Speaking about these innovations Oskar Levander, Rolls-Royce, Vice President of Innovation – Marine, said: "This is happening. The technologies needed to make remote and autonomous ships a reality exist." "The AAWA project is testing sensor arrays in a range of operating and climatic conditions in Finland and has created a simulated autonomous ship control system which allows the behaviour of the complete communication system to be explored. We will see a remote controlled ship in commercial use by the end of the decade."
