Rolls-Royce controls the templates the system functions on and as the user base expands the product will benefit from machine learning continuing to develop based on its constantly growing data pool.


LIDAR has been a particularly useful component, Lindborg says. LIDAR is already in use in autonomous cars. In the marine sector it is being linked to GPS data to create 3D environments which allow crews to “see” what the human eye cannot. According to Lindborg in foggy conditions LIDAR can provide a view that is four times better than the human eye.

LIDAR works by creating a “point cloud,” firing beams of light from a laser and then measuring when a beam is reflected. Rolls-Royce says approximately 300,000 beams are pulsed to render a 3D map of the world around a vessel. In this way a vessel is able to map its environment and provide new insight for those on the bridge, such as a view from above.


The system is the result of more than six months of testing on AAWA’s test vessel Stella, a 65m ferry owned by Finferries. Further development is being undertaken with Swedish ferry company


Stena Line AB and other partners are sought.


Harry Robertsson, Technical Director at Stena Teknik, expert technical advisors to the Swedish ferry company, said: “Stena Teknik continuously conducts research and development in the marine technology sector. This project gives us an opportunity to explore how new technologies can be integrated with the systems we already have on-board and provide a more informed view of a vessel’s surroundings in an accessible and user friendly way. This will give our crew an enhanced decision
