Rolls-Royce Rolls Out Design for Unmanned Cargo Ships

Freight-ship

Rolls-Royce is looking to join the likes of Amazon's drones in the sky and Google's driver-less cars on the roads by sailing the seas with remote-controlled cargo ships.

The firm’s Blue Ocean development team designed the unmanned ship prototypes after the European Union gave 3.5 million euros ($4.8 million) to a project called Maritime Unmanned Navigation through Intelligence in Networks (MUNIN). In developing unmanned ships, the project aims to solve some of the problems of crowded European waters and increasing environmental requirements.
