Learning from Norway’s Maritime Innovation

AAV members attended the Singapore-Norway Innovation Conference through an invitation from the Singapore Maritime Foundation.

The conference gave members exposure to maritime innovation from Norway, a country known for fjords, ferries, offshore technology and advanced maritime systems. Talks on autonomy at Kongsberg Discovery and vessel battery systems from ZEM connected directly with AAV’s interest in autonomous operations, electric platforms and future harbour technology.

For the team leads, the discussion also linked back to an earlier trip in Norway, where they had boarded Future of The Fjords, an all-electric zero-emission passenger vessel. The conference helped AAV see how maritime autonomy, electrification and sustainability are moving from ideas into real vessels.
