Less than 3,000 nautical miles lie between the newest ferry in the national fleet the APT James and its new home, Trinidad and Tobago, following a bunkering (refuelling) stopover at Las Palmas, Canary Islands, over the Christmas holiday.
The estimated arrival date of the vessel has been revised to the first week in January 2021, good weather permitting, according to a news release from the National Infrastructure Development Company Limited (NIDCO).
According to the NIDCO statement, the APT James arrived at Las Palmas on Friday 25 December 2020 at 8:00 pm (local time).
NIDCO explains that the Las Palmas stop is the last stop in the vessel’s journey to Trinidad and Tobago, which began on Thursday 12 November 2020, the day it departed its manufacturing hub in Vietnam.
Nexteer, Continental Team to Improve AV Steering, Braking The joint venture’s Brake-to-Steer technology adds another layer of safety by using the electronic brake system to safely steer the vehicle while simultaneously controlling its speed.
Two major automotive suppliers, Nexteer and Continental, are concentrating their expertise to enhance the steering and braking systems required for automated and autonomous vehicles.
The joint venture, called CNXMotion, will use technology from both companies to deliver electronic braking that can operate as an additional layer of steering control for traditional, highly automated and autonomous vehicles from automation levels one through five as defined by the NHTSA, according to executives from both companies, who also describe it as cost-effective.
