Towards unmanned inland shipping
, 2021 Road transport dominates the European and Belgian hinterland freight transport sector. Over the last decades, approximately three quarters of the cargo streams passed by road, whilst inland waterway transport seems to offer a more sustainable alternative. Moreover, the larger inland vessels suffer from an excess of supply over demand, and the amount of

Human Factors Challenges in Unmanned Ship Operations – Insights from Other Domains
Procedia Manufacturing, 2015 This study presents an overview to human factors challenges that potentially concern future shore control centers for unmanned ships. Although commercial unmanned shipping does not yet exist, it is worth to consider this emerging technology domain. Without the bridge and the systems supporting the crew, the ships could be lighter and carry more cargo –
