DNV Approves Data Infrastructure Of Key Industry Players To Support Efficient And Standardised Ship-To-Shore Data Use
DNV’s just recently released D-INF (information collection framework and also vessel connection) course symbols verifies its worth as an effective quality control device in 3 initial authorization tasks for electronic framework remedies established by COSCO, Kongsberg Digital and also Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI).
Digitalization of the maritime market is readied to significantly improve the functional performance, safety and security and also ecological efficiency of ships, however today is occurring in a fragmented means, without any pan-industry positioning on information framework integrity and also information high quality in conformity with international criteria.
As ships obtain smarter and also significantly loaded with sensing units, the main on-board web servers collect information from parts and also systems that generally include various sorts of information framework. Lack of standardization suggests information can not be incorporated in a consistent means, bring about an absence of count on methods for information transfer and also safety and security.
DNV’s D-INF symbols addresses this secret difficulty by laying out the needs for the total information collection framework, consisting of onboard information web servers, information relay parts and also remote information web servers, covering the complete ship-to-shore interaction structure.
“The pandemic together with the drive to decarbonize have triggered a renaissance in the maritime industry, as we see greater and deeper adoption of digital solutions to ensure safe, sustainable and efficient operations,” stated Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER of DNV Maritime.
“The key to maximizing the potential of these digital technologies and strategies is to enable companies to more easily build trust in them. One such solution is the adoption of our D-INF notation, which is a key element on the road to standardized infrastructure and effective digital transformation. I thank COSCO, Kongsberg Digital and Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) for choosing DNV as their partner in their digital transformation journeys.”
“With D-INF we are curating trust that the data gathered from the ship is the actual data that has been confirmed through a verified pipeline. This is vital for owners to build trust among value-chain stakeholders ranging from class and reporting authorities to insurance providers, financiers, cargo owners and charterers,” stated Jarle Coll Blomhoff, Group leader Cyber Safety & & Security at DNV.
DNV executed the symbols as component of Approval in Principle (AiP) tasks– the initial stage of official kind authorization– recently provided to Chinese delivery team COSCO DELIVERY, Korea shipbuilder SHI and also modern technology supplier Kongsberg Digital for front runner electronic remedies.
The COSCO delivery pilot created component of a larger task with DNV to establish an onshore clever ship information administration centre to accumulated information from a huge variety of vessels throughout its significant fleet. The task with SHI concentrated on the framework and also information stream of its SVESSEL BIG system, while the Kongsberg pilot validated its Vessel Insight option giving value-adding electronic solutions for clients.
“We are pleased to be the first Korean shipbuilder to have received AiP from DNV for data infrastructure in compliance with the recent ISO standards. This standardisation lays the groundwork for improved operational efficiency and flexibility for ship operators while enhancing our competitiveness in the digitalisation market,” stated Oh Sung-Il Senior Executive Vice President, Head of Sales Division from SHI.
“The most important aspect of data collection from a vessel is to keep and protect the integrity of the vessel operation. This is why we invest a lot in cyber security and class validation audit and verification. As D-INF(P) is the first type approval certificate of its kind under DNV Class, we are very proud to lead the way and get a certificate that proves that our product is of the highest level of quality and can be trusted by existing and potential clients and partners,” Sondre Mortensvik, VP Digital Ocean in Kongsberg Digital.
“As an operator, it is crucial for our operational efficiency and safety to get up-to-date information about individual vessels and systems, as well as fleet. Such data is a valuable and cautious asset which can be used to improve logistical efficiency of the whole supply chain. We believe our COSCO SHIPPING operational centre, which has been developed under close cooperation with DNV since 2019, will be key in realising this, however we need access to standardised data to make this happen,” stated Dong Guoxiang, Deputy Chief Engineer of SSSRI from COSCO DELIVERY TEAM.
Blomhoff included: “D-INF is the first step in moving the industry towards best practice in data exchange. Piloting the notation from three complementary angles – shipbuilder, ship operator and technology vendor – is unique and sets the standard for digital transformation in shipping.”
DNV is providing D-INF as a crucial enabler of performance for electronic course clients worldwide. The ease of electronic confirmation solutions will certainly depend upon the capability to transfer relied on information. It likewise suggests proprietors can purchase a vessel understanding that all the electronic aspects interact to every various other from distribution.
“Collecting data in a common infrastructure is a major step forward, especially in the case of large fleets. In addition, the infrastructure only has to be verified once for many different uses, allowing data from multiple sources to be shared with stakeholders and systems across all operations. It is also a powerful enabler of data analytics for enhanced vessel and fleet management and performance,” according to Blomhoff.
The symbols can be acquired both as an exclusive D-INF( P) and also standard D-INF (S) option, giving included versatility for clients likewise to ensure existing ship-to-shore remedies.
