LR, Korea Shipbuilding & & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) as well as Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) have actually authorized a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at Gastech 2021, Dubai to create electronic twin innovation to sustain the digitalisation of the maritime sector as well as the expanding need for huge range LNG providers.

As component of the MoU, KSOE as well as HHI will certainly even more create its Hyundai Intelligent Digital Twin Ship (HIDTS) for a kind B gas control container ideal for an 174,000 CBM LNG Carrier.

LR’s duty is to do audit, testimonial, threat analysis, confirmation as well as recognition tasks to sustain KSOE as well as HHI with the effective growth as well as execution of the electronic double. LR’s Ship Right Procedure for Digital Compliance will certainly be put on the HIDTS, consisting of phases Digital Twin READY, the accreditation of KSOE as well as HHI as Digital Twin Developers, as well as Digital Twin ACCEPTED, the confirmation of HIDTS. LR will certainly after that use phases Digital Twin APPOINTED, which needs a risk-based, resiliency evaluation of HIDTS, as well as Digital Twin LIVE, the recognition of HIDTS.

LR’s strategy will certainly cover the whole life process of the electronic double innovation, from theoretical layout phase to the procedure as well as huge range commercialisation of HIDTS.

Luis Benito, Director of Innovation at Lloyd’s Register, stated: “Leading our industry’s transformation starts with partnerships like this, aligned and focused on the goal to transition the maritime industry towards the digital economy. We are proud to work together with KSOE and HHI in creating this future”.

“Building upon the technical expertise of each party involved, the MoU will fast track digital twin technology solutions needed to help maritime successfully and safely digitalise. By applying LR’s innovative ShipRight Procedure for Digital Compliance, HHI, KSOE and their end user customers can be confident of deploying digital twins that are safe, dependable, and effective to generate business outcomes” Benito wrapped up.

“With the maritime industry focused on ensuring safety and efficiency, it’s important we look at digitalisation such as digital twin technology, which not only helps shipowners and operator optimise operational costs but also improve safety. We’re proud to work with HHI and KSOE on this digital twin ship development for an 174,000 CBM LNG carrier design – a first for a large scale digital twin LNG carrier,” included Sung-Gu Park, LR Area Manager of North East Asia.

“The HIDTS solution creates a digital twin environment in a cyber space which is identical to the maritime environment where a vessel is operated and tests the performance of key equipment and facilities of LNG carriers, such as the dual fuel engine, gas supply system and power and control systems. Spurred by the development of this HIDTS virtual commissioning solution, we plan to launch the new digital ship management solution that covers artificial intelligence technologies such as asset management, energy optimisation and risk assessment” stated Byoung-Hoon Kwon, Vice President of KSOE.

“This is a meaningful step in the advancement of future digital ships that surpasses existing technology. We believe that our own digital twin technology will contribute to the global decarbonisation effort as well as the realisation of autonomous ships. In addition, our cooperation with Lloyd’s Register will reduce the time and cost to provide this high-tech ship to customers,” statedMr Dong Jin Lee as Vice President of HHI.

This complies with LR’s Approval in Principle Digital Twin PREPARED granted to KSOE for its HIDTS previously this year.
