Seafar develops technology to remotely operate crew-reduced vessels. The captains in the Shore Control Center are supported by the latest technologies based on artificial intelligence and machine learning. The combination of vessel autonomy (navigation) and remote pilotage (support in maneuvers) is the key for the implementation of efficient smart shipping.
