Interesting pictures and ship, Tomas. But: No hatch cover on that ship?

Nice piece of work! I was wondering the system for automatic mooring. Will they remove the wheelhouse when it is ready for autonomous sailing?

Hello Denis and Vlad. Posted the pictures on a Norwegian facebookforum for shipping, and people went berserk. Mostly because the lack of sailors, off course....

History in the making, and Tomas & Son were there to witness it! Thanks for sharing!

Cheers

Congrats, quadrocrew - finally first pics of this rather unique vessel on here!
Temporal wheelhouse, also notice robot arms (behind both grey bridges) used for mooring:
