On June 18th 2018 our prototype ferry was christened "milliAmpère" during a ceremony at Fosen kaia in Trondheim. The traditional breaking of the champagne bottle seremony was performed by the ferry's godmother, professor Ingrid Schjølberg, who is also the director of NTNU Ocean.

The event was celebrated with non-alcoholoc bubbles and the traditional Norwegian ferry food "sveler". After the ceremony, the ferry was ready for a little test ride. The ceremony finished with a couple of celebratory salutes from the retired NTNU research vessel "Harry Borthen".

For students

If you are interested in working with the project, check out our student project/master thesis proposals at autoferry.github.io.

Another option is to chose the "Nemo" village for the Experts in Teamwork (EIT) course where the question is: How can computer games be used to renew the maritime industry?
