Autonomt contianerskib stoppet af Covid-19

Udviklingen af verdens første autonome og nul-udledende containerskib - Yara Birkeland - er stoppet på ubestemt tid på grund af Covid-19 pandemien, oplyser Yara. Skroget er ellers på vej til Norge, hvor det efter planen skulle være færdigbygget og sat i drift i år.

Projektet blev startet i 2017, da Yara gik sammen med Kongsberg om at udvikle det første fuldt autonome og nul-udledende containerskib, der skulle have en kapacitet på 120 teu og efter planen reducere containertransporten på land med 40.000 kørsler mellem Yara´s gødningefabrik i Porsgrunn til havnene i Brevik og Larvik.

Men nu er projektet stoppet.

“På grund af Covid-19 pandemien og de ændrede globale udsigter, har Yara besluttet at sætte yderligere udvikling af skibet på pause og vil vurdere de næste steps sammen med sine partnere,” skriver Yara i en udtalelse.

Oprindelig skulle skibet have startet bemandede sejladser i år, inden det i 2022 skulle overgå til ubemandet drift.

Skibets skrog er færdigbygget på et værft i Rumænien og skulle efter planen ankomme til Vard værftet i Brevik i Norge i denne måned for at blive bygget færdigt og overleveret til Yara efter at være testet.
