The Russian company Sitronics KT (part of Sitronics Group) and the delivery service SDEK conducted an experiment to deliver cargo on board the unmanned boat "Strannik" to Moneron Island in the Sakhalin Region. This was reported by the developer's press service.
The route was loaded into the navigation system of "Strannik". The vessel traveled a distance of 140 km along the Tatar Strait from Nevelsk to Moneron without a crew. At the same time, the testers monitored the operation of the systems and telemetry readings.
The tests confirmed the high operability of our autonomous navigation system, which perfectly coped with the task, preventing the vessel from going astray.
The use of unmanned vessels for cargo delivery solves a number of problems:
- reduce logistics costs
- ensure a stable supply of remote areas
