Maersk-owned Svitzer has spent the last couple of years testing a remote controlled tugboat in the Port of Copenhagen. The work now enters a new stage, with a target for having the first ship in commercial operations. Several decisive things need to fall into place in order to realize the plans, COO tells ShippingWatch.
