Waltrop, Germany. 27th Mar, 2023. Shipmaster David Tangermann is in control of the autonomously operating test cargo ship presented by the DST research institute. Thanks to radar, cameras, laser scanners and sensors, the 100-meter-long test ship will steer "autonomously and safely" through the Dortmund-Ems Canal, promises the institute, which is based at the University of Duisburg-Essen. A skipper is on board only for safety. The technology offers good prospects for the future in view of the severe shortage of skilled workers in inland shipping.
