The Cochin Shipyard on Friday delivered two autonomous electric barges built by it for the Norway-based ASKO Maritime AS.
The ASKO project is an ambitious project in Norway, part-funded by the Norwegian government as part of a green shipping programme aimed at emission-free transport of goods across the Oslo fjords. These vessels will be managed by Massterly AS, a joint venture between Kongsberg, the world leader in autonomous technology, and Wilhelmsen, one of the largest maritime shipping companies.
