Rolls-Royce Proprietary Information
• The automatic crossing system ensures safe and energy efficient transit by automatically
controlling the vessel’s acceleration, deceleration, speed and track.
• The captain will supervise the system, and intervene if needed
• The vessels started operation in 2017

The Remote Control Station (RCS)
Third generation, state-of-the-art, on-shore Remote Control Station
Built at Finferries’ office, approximately 45km away from the Turku archipelago
Captain located at RCS was able to take remote control of vessel
Interchangeable layers of insight presented on curved ‘video’ wall in front of captain.
User-centric design based on extensive studies and input from wide range of captains
Combination of 4G cellular providers for high resolution and connectivity

INAV Onboard Advisory
INAV Onboard Advisory is purely an advisory system that enhances the situational awareness of the Officer Of the Watch (OOW). Contributing to safer navigation by providing prioritized collision avoidance advice that the OOW executes with existing control systems. INAV 3D graphical user interface is presented on a touch screen display that the OOW interacts with.

INAV Onboard Control
INAV Onboard Control is a navigational control system that incorporates all advisory system functionality and additionally an intelligent autopilot is part of the system. INAV Onboard Control can navigate along the vessels system track and provide prioritized collision avoidance maneuvers that the OOW approves for execution.
Autodocking is an optional feature of the INAV Onboard Control.

INAV Onboard Bridge Zero
INAV Onboard Bridge Zero is a navigational control system with autonomous navigation capabilities. During route planning predefined legs of the route have been defined as “Bridge Zero” legs including applicable safe states. The system can navigate the predefined legs autonomously and in case an unsolvable situation is encountered the system alerts the standby OOW to the bridge. The system consists of autonomous control, alarm and safety systems.

The Remote & Autonomous (R&A) Journey to Autonomy
SVAN reaffirms that R&A technology is here today to bring benefits in safety and efficient vessel operations
SVAN has demonstrated the Ship Intelligence technology can be rapidly developed, combined and installed in a cost effective, secure and sustainable manner
Navigation solutions of tomorrow are Intelligent
