Dear Sir or Madam,

You are invited to participate in a survey which captures the views of maritime stakeholders on key aspects related to autonomous ships. After a brief introduction into autonomous vessels as seen in the MUNIN project, the questionnaire will start. All in all it should take about ten minutes of your time to complete. The aim of the survey is to collect the opinions of maritime experts in a structured way. This will make it possible to assess key impacts of autonomous ships and design future research and development accordingly. So let your voice be heard!

Please follow this link to get to the survey.

Your responses are voluntary and will be confidential. Answers will not be identified by individual. All responses will be compiled together and analyzed as a group. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact: munin.survey@cml.fraunhofer.de

Thank you very much for your kind participation!

Together with the Korea Advanced Institute for Maritime Safety and Technology of the Mokpo University, Elsevier has launched the new International Journal of e-Navigation and Maritime Economy (e-Navi). The journal is intended to be an outlet for theoretical and empirical research contributions for scholars and specialists in the fields of navigation technology and maritime economy and it is expected to be a pioneering journal for e-Navigation in the future. MUNIN had the honor of contributing the journals opening article “Autonomous Unmanned Merchant Vessel and its Contribution towards the e-Navigation Implementation: The MUNIN Perspective” in the first edition of e-Navi, which was published at the turn of the year. In the article, two examples demonstrate how MUNIN’s results address identified e-Navigation’s gaps and user needs. MUNIN wishes e-Navi to get off to a good start and success for the future.

Questions to e-Navi: Please contact the editorial office via e-navi@e-navigation.kr

The new Munin Brochure is now available. It summarizes the current state of MUNIN’s research activities and presents some of the anticipated applications.

We will hand out hard copies at our exhibition booth on the E-Navigation Underway 2015 – hope to see you there!
