These vessels are owned by different parties and each uses its owned unique approaches for guidance and navigation. The Collaborative Autonomous Shipping Experiment (CASE) aims at emulating such an environment and also stimulating the move of automatic ship control algorithms towards practice by bringing together different institutes researching on autonomous vessels under an umbrella to experiment with collective sailing in inland waterways. In this paper, the experiments of CASE 2020 are explained, the characteristics of different participating vessels are discussed and some of the control and perception algorithms that are planned to be used at CASE 2020 are presented. CASE 2020 will be held in parallel to iSCSS 2020 at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. 000007752 542__ $$fCC-BY-4.0 000007752 6531_ $$aAutonomous Shipping 000007752 6531_ $$aTrajectory Tracking 000007752 6531_ $$aObstacle Avoidance 000007752 6531_ $$aPath Planning 000007752 6531_ $$aCollaborative Shipping 000007752 6531_ $$aModel Vessels 000007752 7001_ $$aHaseltalab, Ali$$uResearchlab Autonomous Shipping, Department of Maritime and Transport Technology, Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands. 000007752 7001_ $$aGarofano, Vittorio$$uResearchlab Autonomous Shipping, Department of Maritime and Transport Technology, Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands. 000007752 7001_ $$aAfzal, Muhammad Raheel$$uIntelligent Mobile Platform (IMP) Research Group, Department of Mechanical Engineering, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium. 000007752 7001_ $$aFaggioni, Nicolo$$uSection of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Department of Naval Architecture, Electric, Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering, University of Genova, Genova, Italy. 000007752 7001_ $$aLi, Shijie$$uSchool of Logistics Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, 430063, P.
