Dutch shipbuilder Da Hoop is conducting the world’s first remotely-operated sea trials with the testing of the Silver Origin, a new expedition cruise ship for Silversea Cruises. A team in Russia put the vessel through its paces off the coast of Goeree-Overflakkee from over 1,100 miles away, carrying out the first remote dynamic positioning acceptance trials. The trials involved the Silver Origin’s ability to remain within 10cm of a fixed point without dropping anchor, allowing the system to be remotely tuned and calibrated.
