Led by NTNU, the centre will develop technology and drive innovation for Norwegian maritime actors through increased use of AI. – The Norwegian maritime industry is among the world’s best, and we must quickly adopt new technologies to maintain our position. Artificial intelligence will revolutionize multiple sectors, including the highly competitive and rapidly changing maritime industries, says Marianne Sivertsen Næss, Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Policy. A cross-sector collaboration The centre will receive 100 million NOK over five years and is a collaboration between industry, academia, public sector actors, and international partners. Its mission is to advance AI research and explore practical applications in the maritime sector. Frode Halvorsen, Cluster Leader of the Ocean Autonomy Cluster and Head of Testination. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Fremtidens Industri – It’s fantastic to be part of the consortium awarded the Maritime AI Centre! This means more resources that our members can utilize and a further strengthening of the capabilities within Testination and Fremtidens Industri, says Frode Halvorsen, cluster manager of the Ocean Autonomy Cluster and Head of Testination. He adds that they will share more about the centre at the next AfterSea. – We are enthusiastic about the potential of the Norwegian Maritime AI Centre to accelerate digital transformation in the maritime industry and look forward to a productive and impactful collaboration, says Ellen Weidemann, Head of Maritimt Forum Midt-Norge.
