Sperry Marine<\/a>, a global leader in navigation solutions for seagoing vessels, has been selected to supply the complete Integrated Bridge Systems for two highly innovative container vessels under construction for Samskip.<\/p>\nBuilt by Cochin Shipyard Limited, the groundbreaking vessels will be delivered achieving zero-emission propulsion and ready for future autonomous navigation.<\/p>\n
The 135-meter length vessels are scheduled for delivery in 2027 to operate between Oslo Fjord and Samskip\u2019s home port of Rotterdam, as part of a pioneering green corridor initiative. The two ships combined are expected to reduce CO? emissions by approximately 25,000 tons annually when operating in zero-emission mode using green hydrogen.<\/p>\n
At owner\u2019s request, each IBS will feature open architecture that makes it possible to integrate emerging autonomous navigation solutions. Today, no industry-wide standards exist covering autonomous ship navigation. However, Sperry Marine\u2019s modular design and open interfaces will allow shipowners to innovate at their own pace. The IBS package on board will include Sperry Marine\u2019s new \u2018self-adaptive\u2019 NAVIPILOT 4500N autopilot, which dynamically adjusts to vessel characteristics and changing conditions, resulting in measurable fuel savings and reduced bridge workload.<\/p>\n
\u201cSamskip\u2019s level of ambition on emissions requires partners like Sperry Marine, with similar objectives for innovation and the willingness to invest in the future,\u201d\u00a0said Jeroen Hollebrands, Head of Newbuilding and Projects, Samskip Group.\u00a0\u201cThese ships are a milestone for the maritime industry, delivering hydrogen fuel cells and autonomous-ready navigation as a clean and renewable technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat sets this IBS apart is its open and flexible architecture, combined with Sperry Marine\u2019s resilient sensor technology and robust cyber protection. This creates a secure and future-proof navigation platform, ready for today\u2019s hydrogen powered operation and tomorrow\u2019s autonomous services,\u201d said\u00a0Pascal G\u00f6llnitz, Sperry Marine\u2019s Product Line Manager for Integrated Bridge Systems.<\/p>\n
Also on board will be Sperry Marine\u2019s Advanced ARPA tracking, whose streams operate separately from radar video, meaning performance is unaffected by anti-clutter settings. As well as consistently reliable target tracking, even in difficult conditions, the system provides tracking ranges of 40NM to ensure early awareness among bridge teams. The full scope of supply includes Sperry Marine\u2019s Secure Maritime Gateway cyber threat protection, and remote diagnostics and support.<\/p>\n
\u201cSperry Marine is proud to collaborate with Samskip and Cochin Shipyard Limited on this transformative project,\u201d\u00a0said Guy Millard, Managing Director Sperry Marine. \u201cThis contract demonstrates how our navigation technologies are sought out by the maritime industry\u2019s true innovators in ship safety, efficiency, and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
