Yara Birkeland press kit

Yara Birkeland is the world's first autonomous and zero-emission container vessel. Ready for launch in 2020, Yara Birkeland will gradually move from manned operation to fully autonomous operation by 2022. Yara and technology company Kongsberg have teamed up to build this game-changing vessel. Replacing 40,000 truck journeys a year, Yara Birkeland will reduce NOx and CO2 emissions and improve road safety in a densely populated urban area in Norway.
