What’s expected to be the first autonomous container ship is at the beginning of a two-year pilot.

Norwegian fertiliser giant Yara is behind the vessel, which will gradually transition to fully autonomous navigation.

The global maritime industry is a major emitter of greenhouse gases, and it is thought this could be one step towards a green shipping revolution.

The pilots provide local knowledge to the ships' captains to ensure safe arrivals and departures. In order to do this, it requires the pilot to climb from one moving vessel to the other.
