DNV has granted a design verification report (DVR) for the AI-based autonomous navigation system “HiNAS Control”.
This system was a joint undertaking between Avikus, a navigation specialist, and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries. Following the analysis, the Liberian International Ship and Corporate Registry (LISCR) has additionally given an Approval in Principle (AiP) for this technique.
The “HiNAS Control” system employs synthetic intelligence (AI) and augmented actuality (AR) to combine information from completely different navigation instruments. This superior expertise allows ships to autonomously keep away from collisions whereas sustaining optimum routes and speeds. By aiding navigators, it reduces fatigue and contributes to safer voyages, higher gas effectivity, and fewer maritime accidents and emissions.
DNV Maritime’s CEO Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen acknowledged: “Safety is at the core of what a Ship Classification society shall support the maritime industry, and we are happy to have contributed with our competence and expertise to complete this design assessment of HD Hyundai’s and Avikus’ system. Leveraging advanced new technologies to give seafarers and the maritime industry new tools to further improve their safety and environmental performance is key for the future of the maritime industry. We are looking forward to continuing the cooperation towards common use of such systems on vessels sailing the high seas.”
Alfonso Castillero, CEO of the Liberian International Ship and Corporate Registry (LISCR), stated:”As a pacesetter in innovation, we on the Liberian Registry are very proud to have taken a major position with our companions to advance the design verification for this cutting-edge expertise. We know HiNAS Control will play a major position within the security, effectivity and the way forward for the worldwide delivery business.”
In evaluating these new improvements, DNV utilized its class guideline for autonomous ships (DNV-CG-0264), primarily based on threat assessments and related requirements.
