MOL has
reached an agreement with Kawasaki Heavy Industries to jointly
develop
technologies designed to enhance vessel reliability and energy-savings by
deploying vessel steering gear equipped with new sensing capabilities and big
data analysis.
The system will be installed on a
very large crude carrier which is under construction at KHI and slated for
delivery to MOL. It is intended to develop KHI-made steering gear equipped with
sensors that monitor pressure, flow rate, temperature of hydraulic oil and
consumed power and a high-speed data acquisition system that has a large
storage capacity, reported American Shipper.
The high-speed data acquisition
system collects not only data from the steering gear but also other various
types of data such as vessel speed, course, engine load and rudder angle during
a voyage. In-depth analysis of this data will lead to improvements in vessel
reliability and energy saving. The project is expected to be completed by the
end of March 2021.
MOL plans to leverage its knowledge
and know-how gained through the development process for various ship types as
it takes a proactive stance in adopting the Internet of Things to enhance safe
vessel operation and reduce the impact of shipping on the environment.
