SEAMLESS DUC1 Demonstration Day

  • 29/04/2026

Autonomous Short Sea Shipping Fleet Operations

3 June 2026 | USN Campus Vestfold & Horten Harbour, Norway

Join us for a landmark event showcasing the future of European freight transport.

The SEAMLESS Demonstration Use Case 1 (DUC1) Demonstration Day marks a major milestone in SEAMLESS. By integrating autonomous vessels, Remote Operation Centres (ROC), smart cargo handling systems, and advanced digital logistics platforms, SEAMLESS is paving the way for safe, resilient, and efficient multimodal transport. The project bridges technology, operations, and regulatory frameworks to support Europe’s transition towards greener and smarter mobility, while accelerating the modal shift from road to waterways.

Experience Innovation in Action

The DUC1 Demonstration Day offers a unique opportunity to experience SEAMLESS technologies operating within a real logistics chain—from digital coordination to autonomous vessel operations.

Morning Session
