Safe-NET

Safe Autonomous Maritime Transport (Safe-NET) is a research group in the department of Maritime and Transport Technology (MTT), within the faculty of Mechanical, Maritime, and Materials Engineering (3mE) at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). SAFE-NET activities are part of the ResearchLab Autonomous Shipping (RAS) in the context of the M&TT Department research theme 'Safe Autonomous and Complex Ships' (SACS).

Aiming to enable sustainability, to increase system efficiency and availability, Safe-NET group works on enhancing autonomy in maritime transport through the digitalization and automatization of all systems and at all levels of maritime transport while ensuring safety.
