Autonomy in shipping promises efficiency and safety, but its true value lies in proven application across diverse scenarios. With over 850,000 kilometres of autonomous operation logged across more than 1,000 vessels in 120 water areas globally, ORCAUBOAT brings a wealth of real-world data to the table.

This presentation introduces the ORCA-APAS, a full-stack, hardware-software integrated solution that delivers Level 4 equivalent autonomous driving functions for maritime vessels. We will showcase how this system seamlessly adapts from complex inland river environments to challenging offshore conditions, having recently shattered technological barriers by securing first offshore-grade certification from CCS.

We will illustrate how this adaptable “autonomy brain” can be retrofitted for various vessel types, driving tangible outcomes in near-sea environmental remediation, smart ports, and next-generation maritime mobility. Join us to explore how data-driven autonomy is reshaping the economics and safety of the maritime industry.

The Port of Sines is developing a roadmap on Green and digital Transition, whose main tool is the NEXUS Agenda, a project developing 28 innovative solutions aiming at decarbonising the different knots of the entire logistic chain.

One of the outcomes of the project is the Port Cyber Arena, consisting of a cyber range for real scenarios training in cybersecurity, geared to perform training activities to the transport and logistic sector, framed within the port's strategy to contribute to the enhancement of cyber-resilience.

Besides the Port Cyber Arena, the Port of Sines is also developing an Open Data Collaborative Platform, consisting of a marketplace for datasets and digital solutions. ZERO emissions vessels and harbour crafts are being developed within the scope of energy transition, as well as a series of digital tools supporting investment decisions on renewable energy production (solar, wind, waves, etc), an energy management system, and a third solution geared on the operation of the grid.

Sines is the Portuguese port serving the country's H2 and green fuels main cluster, thus aligning its green transition strategy to serve an ever more demanding and competitive market, while reinforcing the stepping in different Green Corridors.

The Center is now launching a technical guide describing step-by-step methodology to do benefit tracking on selected energy efficiency measures. The intent with such a technical guideline, is to provide a toolbox for industry stakeholders that can serve as a basis to do performance benchmarking, performance monitoring, and operational best-practices. The technical guide could also underpin as a foundation for a common framework for ship owners and ship charterers to agree on cost-benefit sharing, should they want to co-invest on energy efficiency technologies.
