Such reports always give me mixed feelings: On the one hand, I see the technical progress, the evolution in shipping, and I am always impressed by what is possible. On the other hand, autonomous driving also means that seafarers like me will be obsolete at some point. I hope that won't be the case in the next 30 years! However, I'm looking forward to seeing the ferries in operation at some point!
