The Exploitation workshop on the autonomous sailing of MOSES Innovative Container Feeder Vessel, took place virtually on November 2nd, 2023, at 10.00-12.00 CET, via Zoom platform.

MOSES is a three-year H2020 project, that aims to significantly enhance the Short Sea Shipping (SSS) component of the European container supply chain by addressing the vulnerabilities and strains that relate to the operation of large containerships.  Α a two-fold strategy has been followed, that aims to reduce the total time to berth for TEN-T Hub Ports and to stimulate the use of SSS feeder services in small ports that have limited or no infrastructure.

Several Innovations have been, also employed, studied and tested in real life conditions towards paving the way for the future of Short Sea Shipping.

The first demonstration was related to the autonomous sailing of an innovative container feeder vessel, making a roundtrip between two ports, within MARIN’s Seakeeping and Maneuvering Basin.

The Exploitation workshop on the autonomous sailing of MOSES Innovative Container Feeder Vessel aimed to present the corresponding pilot demonstration outcomes and gather stakeholders’ viewpoints on how MOSES can sustain a roadmap for post-project exploitation.
