Rosmorport has begun issuing the first certificates of autonomous and remotely controlled surface vessels (ARCSV).

The first to receive official registration were Russian unmanned electric ferries 'Marshal Rokossovsky' and 'General Chernyakhovsky'.

Now they have the first ARCSV certificates in Russia,

The document allows these electric vessels of Sitronics KT remote control with the possibility of switching to manual control when operating at sea, and on manual control with decision-making support. For example, when passing through narrow places and entering the port.

Captains control the vessels from Saint Petersburg, from the territory of Rosmorport's remote control center.

Remote control is enabled by an autonomous navigation system, a traffic and maneuvering control system, a vessel systems monitoring and surveillance system, and an optical system for analyzing the surrounding situation and the vessel’s condition.
