Autonomous landing system

The delivery for Uptime 30 marked a milestone with the first autonomous landing system and an integrated trolley crane for load transfers. The delivery was for Ulstein`s new build Jules Werne for the Bernhard Schulte company Windea, a battery hybrid SOV based on Ulsteins SX195. The vessel is operated by Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement and has entered a 10-year contract with GE.

The control system for the gangway has a autonomous connection sequence with auto deploy and auto park, with artificial intelligence functionality to learn from historical data.

Load transfers with trolley crane  

The crane is desiged according to DNVGL-ST-0378 and is fully specked with
- 4T (2-fall) SWL in Harbour/Deck mode
- 2T (2-fall) SWL in Offshore mode
- Ship to ship mode, AOPS, MOPS and emergency lowering

The crane is also controlled from the same user interface (GUI/Joystick) as the gangway through quick transition in GUI.
