\u00a0<\/p>\n

Airbus<\/a>\u00a0has begun shore-to-ship trials in Singapore with its Skyways parcel\u00a0delivery drone<\/strong>. This marks the first time drone technology has been deployed in real port conditions to deliver a variety of small, time-critical maritime essentials to working vessels at anchorage.<\/p>\n

The maiden shore-to-ship delivery flight was made to the Swire Pacific Offshore\u2019s Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessel \u201cM\/V Pacific Centurion,\u201d 1.5 km from the shoreline of Singapore\u2019s Marina South Pier, carrying 1.5 kg of 3D printed consumables. Landing safely on the ship deck and depositing its cargo to the shipmaster, the Skyways unmanned air vehicle swiftly returned to its base, with the entire flight taking within 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

The trials are being undertaken in conjunction with partner\u00a0Wilhelmsen Ships Services<\/strong>, one of the world\u2019s leading maritime logistics and port services company. During the trials, Airbus\u2019 Skyways drone will lift off from the pier with a payload capability of up to 4 kg, and navigate autonomously along pre-determined \u2018aerial corridors\u2019 to vessels as far as 3 km from the coast.<\/p>\n

Airbus\u2019 Skyways lead, Leo Jeoh, shared his excitement at the milestone flight:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDelivery of essential spares, medical supplies and cash to master via launch boat, is an established part of our portfolio of husbandry services, which we provide day in and day out, in ports all over the world. Modern technology such as the unmanned aircraft systems, are just a new tool, albeit a very cool one, with which we can push our industry ever forward and improve how we serve our customers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Airbus\u2019 Skyways drone<\/h2>\n

The use of unmanned aircraft systems in the maritime industry paves the way for possible enlargement of existing ship agency services\u2019 portfolio, speeding up deliveries by up to six times, lowering delivery costs by up to 90%, reducing carbon footprint, and significantly mitigating risks of accidents associated with launch-boat deliveries.<\/p>\n

Airbus and Wilhelmsen Ships Services signed an agreement in June 2018 to drive the development of an end-to-end unmanned aircraft system for safe shore-to-ship deliveries. The collaboration marries Airbus\u2019 extensive expertise in aeronautical vertical lift solutions and Wilhelmsen\u2019s wealth of experience in ship agency services. A landing platform and control centre were set up at the Marina South Pier in November 2018, through the facilitation of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore. The maritime agency also designated anchorages for vessels to anchor off the pier for the trials, while the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore worked with Airbus and Wilhelmsen to ensure safety of the trials.<\/p>\n

Skyways<\/strong>\u00a0is an experimental project aimed at establishing seamless multi-modal transportation networks in smart cities. Through Skyways, Airbus aims to develop an unmanned airborne infrastructure solution and address the sustainability and efficiency of unmanned aircraft in large urban and maritime environments.<\/p>\n

Having demonstrated the ability to deliver parcels safely and reliably to vessels anchored off the coast of Singapore, Skyways will soon be commencing another trial phase delivering air parcels autonomously in an urban environment, at the National University of Singapore.<\/p>\n
