\"A test voyage conducted in Korea further demonstrated advancements in autonomous and remote-controlled ship operations. Using a 300-ton tug fitting with an autonomous navigation system, Samsung Heavy Industries was able to safely navigate the vessel from a remote operations center located more than 150 miles away from the port. The demonstration combined collision avoidance, autopilot, and remote control technologies.\
\
The 125-foot tug operating at the Geoje Shipyard in Korea was outfitted with the Samsung Autonomous Ship technology. According to Samsung, SAS analyzes in real-time signals from navigational communication equipment, including radar, GPS, and AIS, to recognize nearby ships and obstacles. The system develops the route for the vessel, evaluating the risk of collision considering the ship\'s operating characteristics. It safely navigates the vessel to its destination by automatically controlling the propulsion and steering.\"\
