  • the present invention relates to shore operation cen- tre workstation for remote monitoring and controlling of unmanned marine vessels.
  • Unmanned marine vessels are vessels that sail at sea without any crew onboard. Unmanned marine vessels can operate controlled remotely by a human or autonomously the idea being to replace human operators onboard with automation technologies. Also the operation of autono ⁇ mous marine vessels requires human intervention in certain situations.
  • the unmanned marine vessels are controlled by human operators working at a shore oper ⁇ ation centre which is located on shore. In order to enable this, a variety of sensors and cameras must be arranged at the marine vessel to detect and observe the ship status, operation of the various systems of the marine vessel, fault situations, the behavior of the marine vessel and its cargo, motions of the marine vessel, the environment of the marine vessel, waves, weather conditions, other sea traffic for avoidance of collisions etc.
  • An amount of this kind of information must be gathered, processed and transferred to the shore control centre wherein the operator can remotely monitor and control the marine vessel and solve possi ⁇ ble fault conditions.
  • the shore operation centre one operator can monitor and control several marine vessels. It is important that the operator can have as good as possible situational awareness of the marine vessel in order to enable good decision-making.
