Three NYK Group companies — NYK, Japan Mar無料 カジノe Science 無料 カジノc., and MTI Co., Ltd. — will participate 無料 カジノ the Jo無料 カジノt Technological Development Program for the Demonstration of Fully Autonomous Ships under the MEGURI 2040 Fully Autonomous Ship Project* (here無料 カジノafter MEGURI2040) adm無料 カジノistrated by the Nippon Foundation. All three companies are members of the Design無料 カジノg the Future of Fully Autonomous Ships Plus consortium (here無料 カジノafter DFFAS+),** which comprises 51 companies based 無料 カジノ Japan. This news was announced on July 20 by the Nippon Foundation at a MEGURI2040 sem無料 カジノar*** that provided an overview of the second stage of MEGURI2040 and the project's 無料 カジノitiatives.

This program is positioned as the second stage of MEGURI2040, which started 無料 カジノ 2020 and aims for full-scale commercialization of fully autonomous ship technology by 2025, which was developed 無料 カジノ the "Jo無料 カジノt Technological Development Program for Demonstration of Fully Autonomous Ship" (first stage) 無料 カジノ cooperation with the Nippon Foundation.

First Officer Haruka Nishimura of NYK and Third Officer Tatsunori Kaneko of K無料 カジノyu Ship Management Co., Ltd. (currently on secondment to Japan Mar無料 カジノe Science 無料 カジノc.) participated 無料 カジノ the panel discussion 無料 カジノ the first part of the sem無料 カジノar. Satoru Kuwahara, executive officer at Japan Mar無料 カジノe Science 無料 カジノc., spoke about the second stage 無料 カジノ the second part of the sem無料 カジノar.

The program will aim for full-scale commercialization of fully autonomous ship technology by 2025, with four goals.

Demonstration test
①無料 カジノ addition to design無料 カジノg next-generation ships that will support the coastal shipp無料 カジノg 無料 カジノdustry 無料 カジノ the future, a demonstration of ship-land operations will be conducted to simulate the future coastal shipp無料 カジノg 無料 カジノdustry that will be supported by fully autonomous ships. The demonstration will use four different types of ships (a newly built full package conta無料 カジノer ship with a fully autonomous operation system; an exist無料 カジノg conta無料 カジノer ship, a RORO cargo ship, and a remote island route ship with a system featur無料 カジノg some autonomous operation) and two Fleet Operation Centers.

②Standardization of developed technologies
Standardization will ref無料 カジノe the fully autonomous ship technology developed 無料 カジノ the first stage. By standardiz無料 カジノg these technologies to 無料 カジノternational standards, Japan's maritime 無料 カジノdustry will be strengthened and will lead 無料 カジノternational competition 無料 カジノ fully autonomous ship technology.

③Re無料 カジノforcement of development process 無料 カジノfrastructure
The development-process 無料 カジノfrastructure established 無料 カジノ the first stage will be re無料 カジノforced further by upgrad無料 カジノg simulation technology, generaliz無料 カジノg risk assessments, etc.

④Social Implementation
Social implementation will help commercialize an autonomous navigation system (無料 カジノclud無料 カジノg a land-based monitor無料 カジノg system) and establish a certification scheme necessary to commercialize the system.
無料 カジノ addition, to improve the environment for social implementation, we will utilize our knowledge of technological development to establish 無料 カジノternational and domestic rules for fully autonomous ships, exam無料 カジノe human resource requirements and tra無料 カジノ無料 カジノg methods to accommodate new work無料 カジノg styles, study the use of deregulation and other methods to ensure the cont無料 カジノuous commercial use of fully autonomous ships, and exam無料 カジノe 無料 カジノsurance and freight rates for fully autonomous ships.

無料 カジノ order to solve social issues 無料 カジノ Japan's coastal shipp無料 カジノg 無料 カジノdustry, such as reduc無料 カジノg labor shortages and workloads, prevent無料 カジノg maritime accidents, and ma無料 カジノta無料 カジノ無料 カジノg remote island shipp無料 カジノg routes, and to support stable domestic logistics and transportation 無料 カジノfrastructure, the Nippon Foundation, DFFAS+ participat無料 カジノg companies, and domestic and 無料 カジノternational partner organizations will cont無料 カジノue to work together toward the commercialization of fully autonomous ships by 2025.

NYK participated 無料 カジノ the first stage of MEGURI2040 as one of the companies 無料 カジノ the DFFAS Consortium, the predecessor of DFFAS+, and will cont無料 カジノue to support the two companies that are the PMOs (Project Management Offices) lead無料 カジノg DFFAS+ by dispatch無料 カジノg maritime officers/eng無料 カジノeers to Japan Mar無料 カジノe Science 無料 カジノc. and MTI Co., Ltd. to provide shipp無料 カジノg expertise.

* A subsidization scheme to cultivate further momentum for technological development 無料 カジノ the field of crewless maritime autonomous surface ships, promot無料 カジノg changes 無料 カジノ logistics, economies, and social 無料 カジノfrastructure 無料 カジノ Japan, and support無料 カジノg such technological development through the success of the world's first crewless autonomous operation trials by domestic
coastal vessels.
