Autonomous boats: The rise of self-sailing vessels 0shares
Sam Fortescue reports on the latest developments in autonomous boats and self-sailing technology, which is ready to be deployed in a variety of uses from weather monitoring to shipping
‘Vessel not under command’ looks set to take on a new meaning, with the race to develop a new generation of autonomous boats sailed by artificial intelligence (AI). But what will it mean for other water users?
Today we’re all familiar with the concept of autonomous vehicles. Self-driving cars are the next development frontier, and the tools needed to make them a reality are being intensively tested by some of Silicon Valley’s biggest tech firms.
Artemis Technologies Unveils mHIL Simulator & Digital Twin Capability In Northern Ireland
Artemis Technologies, which is leading a programme to develop a new class of zero-emission high speed vessels, has unveiled its mechanical hardware in the loop (mHIL) simulator and digital twin capability in Northern Ireland.
Artemis Technologies, which is leading a programme to develop a new class of zero-emission high speed vessels, has relocated its mechanical hardware in the loop (mHIL) simulator to Northern Ireland.
The mHIL simulator represents a multi-million pound investment over the past decade by Artemis Technologies and the Artemis Racing professional sailing team.
The company will use the mHIL simulator to streamline the development process and prototyping of the company’s Artemis eFoilerTM electric propulsion system and new green high-speed vessels, targeting the ferry and workboat markets.

The investment by Gunvor follows the recent award of a GBP33m UK government innovation grant to the Artemis Technologies-led Belfast Maritime Consortium, which aims to develop zero-emission high-speed ferries.
“Artemis Technologies is working on a number of compelling innovations that will help decarbonise the maritime sector at a time when there is growing demand for low carbon alternatives,” said Torbjorn Tornqvist, chairman of Gunvor Group. “Gunvor has committed to reduce the carbon footprint of the commodities we’re trading and our industrial processes, as well as to explore relevant commercial opportunities. There is no silver bullet to the climate change issue. Many solutions are needed.”
