The test program created by DanPilot and Danelec allows pilots to guide ships from land, using only advanced data transmi%ufffded directly from the vessels.The aim is to improve pilot safety and reduce fuel consump%ufffdon for ships %u2013 all without compromising naviga%ufffdonal safety. In this way, remote pilotage can support Denmark%u2019s mari%ufffdme leadership in the shi%ufffd towards safer and more sustainable shipping.%u201cRemote pilotage makes our work safer and helps reduce both CO%u2082 emissions and opera%ufffdonal costs for our customers. We have worked intensively towards this for six years, and now we can finally test it in prac%ufffdce. It has the poten%ufffdal to become a major paradigm shi%ufffd in how pilotage is carried out,%u201d- Erik Merkes Nielsen, CEO of DanPilotThe approval has been granted as part of a broader effort to enhance safety and preparedness at sea. The test will serve as a founda%ufffdon for future regula%ufffdon and possible broader applica%ufffdon %u2013 both na%ufffdonally and interna%ufffdonally.The remote pilotage program will take place in the Ka%ufffdegat and the western Bal%ufffdc Sea. For the first %ufffdme, it allows pilots to guide selected ships through Danish waters without boarding them physically. Instead, the opera%ufffdon is carried out from a control center in the city of Randers %u2013 removing the most hazardous part of a pilot%u2019s job: the physical boarding of ships.With formal approval from the Danish Emergency Management Agency, mari%ufffdme innovators DanPilot and Danelec have ini%ufffdated the world%u2019s first legally sanc%ufffdoned remote pilotage trial. This landmark program will test AIenhanced ship guidance systems that could eliminate the need for physical pilot transfers.DanPilot And Danelec Launch DataDriven Remote PilotageMARINE ELECTRONICS & NAVIGATION
