    The IMAT project will develop and test land-based sensors, communication systems and control systems to provide support to autonomous vessels. The infrastructure will increase sensor redundancy and integrate with shore control centers to ensure safe and efficient autonomous maritime transport. The project aims to define, develop, adapt and test this land-based sensor infrastructure over three years.

    The IMAT project will develop and test land-based sensors, communication

    systems and control systems used as a support to autonomous vessels


    navigation and operation. The technological infrastructure will be able to
    provide the transportation systems with increased sensor redundancy and will
    be an integrated part of the shore-based control centres, which shall ensure
    safe and efficient operation. A reliable infrastructure is crucial for a safe
    implementation of maritime autonomous transport systems. The main
    objective of the IMAT project is to define, develop, adapt and test the land-
    based sensor infrastructure.
    Background
    There is an increasing interest in autonomous transportation systems. According to the
    Norwegian government’s national transportation plan, one goal is to be able to transfer more
    cargo onto keel, that requires innovation. The MarOff, Maritim21, Hav21 and “den Poliske
    Plattformen” programs all agree that autonomous vessels are promising means for success.
    Water transport must be competitive with land-based transport regards to price, efficiency
    and regularity, at the same time it should have an environmental gain according to the UN
    Sustainable Goals. Autonomous transportation systems are one of the means of transferring
    cargo from truck to ship, but it must be documented that an autonomous transport operation
    can be carried out effectively, safely and with enough barriers against errors.
    The IMAT project will develop and test land-based sensors, communication systems and
    control systems used as a means of support to autonomous vessels. The technological
    infrastructure will be able to provide the transportation systems with increased sensor
    redundancy and it will be an integrated part to the transport system, that will ensure safe and
    effective operation. A transportation system consists of various control centres (SCC – Shore
    Control Centre, LMC – Local Monitoring Centre), traffic centres (VTS – Vessel Traffic Service),
    the implemented technological infrastructure and of course the MASS vessel. Thus, the
    interaction between technologies, organizations and humans is essential within the project.
    The IMAT project is managed by SINTEF Ocean. Kongsberg Seatex is the project owner with
    Kongsberg Norcontrol, Massterly and NTNU as project partners. The project runs for three
    years and had its kick-off April 2019. The Norwegian Coastal Administration, the Norwegian
    Maritime Authority and Trondheim Port Authority contribute into the reference group. The
    IMAT project will use the Trondheimsfjorden test area for autonomous ships for the test
    activities. The project is funded by The Research Council of Norway via the MarOff II program.
    The total expenditure is NOK 18 million, which includes in-kind contribution from the industry
    partners in the project.
    Project focus areas

    • Verification and integration of land-based sensor data with sensor data from autonomous
    vessels.
    • Adaptation of land-based surveillance technology for detection of solutions for data fusion
    and automatic transfer of navigation data between infrastructure installations, control
    centres and vessels.
    • Ensure the human-in-the loop when implementing new technology.
    • Standardization of messages, interaction procedures, robust technology for digital
    information exchange between the systems and parties.
    • Development of new guidelines for interaction, new regulations and standards for
    information exchange.
