Sea Machines’ founder and CEO Michael G. Johnson will present on the topic of marine autonomy for passenger vessels during today’s FERRIES 2020 virtual conference, at 2:55 p.m. (EST). His presentation, “Can U.S. Ferry Operators Start to Take Advantage of Advances in Autonomy Now?” will explain the use cases for autonomy, how these intelligent systems work and what technology is on the horizon. During the discussion, Johnson will also answer questions like:

• Does autonomy require a new vessel or can it be installed on current fleets?

• Is any special hardware necessary?

• Can you give us an idea of the cost of an autonomous marine system?

• Can you quantify the benefits of autonomous tech?

Now in its 33rd year, the two-day Marine Log event brings together some of the foremost experts in field to discuss emerging tech, market development, cybersecurity, industry diversity and more. View the full schedule or register for the conference here.
