During the last month the AI aide Stena Fuel Pilot has actually been effectively presented on 2 even more Stena Line vessels, Stena Flavia as well as Mecklenburg-Vorpommern In overall, 7 Stena Line vessels currently run with AI aid, with the objective to minimize gas usage as well as carbon dioxide exhausts by 5 %.

The Stena Fuel Pilot began as a pilot research on Stena Scandinavica on the Gothenburg-Kiel path back in 2018 with the job to explore as well as discover just how expert system can be utilized to sustain the captains as well as staffs onboard to conserve gas as well as minimize carbon dioxide exhausts.

The AI aide, currently called “Stena Fuel Pilot”, integrates expert system, maritime know-how, as well as information resources such as existing, waves, deepness, wind in addition to the vessel qualities as well as the path schedule.

The traditional conserving of gas is 2 % as well as the capacity is greater than 5 %. In overall, 7 Stena Line vessels in Scandinavia, Germany as well as the Baltic Sea currently run with AI aid as well as the business prepares for a fleet-wide rollout. The most current 2 that presented the AI aide onboard was Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on the Trelleborg-Rostock path as well as Stena Flavia, presently operating Nyn äshamn-Ventspils

“We are working hard to reduce our fuel consumption and emissions, while at the same time exploring tomorrow’s fuels and technologies. The main drivers behind the reduction of emissions in 2020 are that we have introduced three new energy-efficient vessels, on the Irish Sea. We have also introduced renewable shore electricity during port calls in Kiel and in total seven ships in the fleet have been equipped with the AI assistant Stena Fuel Pilot to support our captains in operating the vessels in the most energy-efficient way,” claims Erik Lewenhaupt, Group Head of Sustainability at Stena Line.

In 2020, Stena Line remained to minimize its overall carbon dioxide exhausts as well as is 10 years in advance of the IMO worldwide delivery discharge decrease targets *. The utilize expert system onboard is just one of the 4 vital locations Stena Line have actually determined to minimize co2 exhausts by 30 % by 2030, in order to accomplish the enthusiastic target to end up being totally fossil-free by 2050.

The various other vital locations are electrification of the port as well as vessel procedure, boost using different gas such as methanol as well as hydrogen in addition to improving the existing fleet in addition to the intro of brand-new effective vessels such as the 5 E-Flexer vessels being presented 2020-2022.

*Stena Line is 10 years in advance of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) targets for energy-efficient transportations, a loved one decrease in carbon dioxide exhausts each of freight transferred, by 40 % in between 2008 as well as 2030.
