Rolls-Royce Drone Ships Challenge $375 Billion Industry: Freight - Bloomberg

Rolls-Royce Drone Ships Challenge $375 Billion Industry: Freight - Bloomberg: "The company’s schematics show vessels loaded with containers from front to back, without the bridge structure where the crew lives. By replacing the bridge -- along with the other systems that support the crew, such as electricity, air conditioning, water and sewage -- with more cargo, ships can cut costs and boost revenue, Levander said. The ships would be 5 percent lighter before loading cargo and would burn 12 percent to 15 percent less fuel, he said."
