Testing MacGregor autonomous container loading and discharging solution 

With the MOSES and AEGIS projects drawing to a close, MacGregor’s solution is due to be tested at a facility in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, in September 2023. As part of the demonstration, MacGregor will showcase the ability of the spreader to lock on to a container on the quayside before transferring it to the vessel without an onsite crane operator. To test the system’s limitations, the company has defined scenarios in which the containers are placed incorrectly. The demonstration will also verify the system’s response when a person enters the safety zone and its coordination with the shore control centre to ensure operations can be resumed safely and without delay following automatic shut-down.
