The work is part of the Swedish Maritime Administration's transition to a fossil-free fleet.

FASTWATER Consortium and the Swedish Maritime Administration (SMA) successfully demonstrated a pilot boat that has been converted to operate on Methanol fuel.

But what happens if the GNSS gets intentionally disturbed?
