The maritime sector can gain from electronic modern technologies in a manner that can have a prompt and also transformative effect on style, procedures, organization versions, and also ecological effect.
To harness this transformational power, the globe’s leading category culture DNV GL and also modern technology firm Alpha Ori Technologies (AOT) have actually authorized a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in which they accept interact to add to the aquatic sector’s recurring electronic change.
The MOU will certainly likewise see the firms interact to open the advantages of brand-new electronic modern technologies and also techniques, consisting of sharing information collaboratively, and also the development of structures and also criteria, to establish brand-new and also boost existing product or services.

The MOU is based around the setup of Alpha Ori’s SMARTShip systems on BW LPG vessels, piloting using electronic modern technologies to even more boost the partnership in between ship driver and also course. The complying with locations have actually currently been determined as prospective locations for expedition:
- Data exchange for electronic course solutions
- Possibilities for continual guarantee
- Remote procedures and also surveillance
“There is a tremendous opportunity for the shipping industry to improve the way it works,” states Andreas Sohmen-Pao, Chairman of BW Group and also BW LPG. “For those who are interested in cost savings on fuel and maintenance, good technology is critical: even the most brilliant captain cannot see every change in the weather; even the most brilliant chief engineer cannot hear every problem in the machinery. For those who are interested in staying ahead of changing environmental legislation and the related cost of financing, automated measurements will provide an indispensable edge. And for those looking to reduce the cost and challenge of physical inspections and service – even in calmer times where there are no restrictions on mobility – digital solutions provide an answer. Smart use of these systems will gradually separate the winners from the losers, and it is encouraging to see leading players like DNV GL and AOT collaborate to accelerate this development.”
“By deploying AOT’s SMARTShip application on a vessel, surveyors can access real-time data,” statesCapt Rajesh Unni, Co- Chief Executive Officer of AOT. “The resulting advantage is that one can remotely access the health of a vessel and verify whether a ship is compliant with IMO 2020 and other regulatory requirements. This digital approach is reliable, efficient, and can improve savings.”
“By working together with leading technology solution providers, alongside owners and operators we can unlock broader maritime digitalisation and build on the value these new technologies generate,” stated Cristina Saenz de Santa Maria, Regional Manager for South East Asia, Pacific & & India at DNV GLMaritime “At DNV GL we want to continue taking advantage of the opportunities created by digitalization to offer new services and ways of working that enhance quality, are more efficient, and improve our customers’ experiences with class. Of course, with every step towards greater digitalization we must make sure that we are continuing to ensure safe operations at sea, while protecting life, property and the environment.”
As the MOU execution proceeds, the companions will certainly seek to cover a lot of one of the most essential arising locations for maritime digitalization, consisting of remote surveillance and also procedures, the electronic supply chain and also anticipating upkeep systems.
