Well hopefully they listen to you Ted and put a crew accommodation on this one soon.
I'm sure Vlad will post a picture when it happens.

Pata it may come,, also when I doubt it. but the cost factor with no crew is much higher then with crew. Just think of mooring crews and picture Rotterdam, how much mooring gangs they need stand by for such a port with 100 or so daily arrivals and for what price, I mean they are not hired for a day,but on the monthly payroll and somehow I have the feeling that a filipino AB is still much cheaper then a dutch mooring man !?
the next thing, does a pilot go a/b or also into port remote. With a pilot bringing aboard are also some problems associated when nobody is on the ship. Next thing, ship breaks down at sea,,what now,, fly in service crews ? They sure cost multiple times what a crew cost.
To bring a crewless ship to the next port, special crossing the Atlantic, thats the easy part could have been done in the 80,s already, just put the automatic in and 10 days later they are on the other side. There is a little bit more involved then put more technic onto the ships. I kno that it can be done, thats not the problem, but service those ships in port will cost much more then keep a steady crew.

Excellent photo of this first ever unmanned container ship! :D

Thanks for your comment, Rick. (And, my thoughts exactly!) :)

The shape of things to come, when all seamen are redundant & vessels are operated, drone-like, from operating centres!
Don't laugh, it is coming, even if not in the next decade or so!
Great shot.
