KOREA's HMM and Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU)
to develop smart ship technology, reports Colchester's Seatrade Maritime News.
Together
the two will work together in the research, development, and innovation in
smart ship solutions.
The MOU essentially covers the construction
of eco-friendly technologies suitable for smart ships and the enhancement of
technical competence related to the digitalisation of ships.
"Both
digitalisation and decarbonisation have become integral factors on the pathway
to sustainable growth. HMM has concentrated on the exploration of new
technologies for the future and has actively participated in various
discussions with the parties concerned. We look forward to taking this
partnership to the next level with great synergy," said an HMM official.
As
part of the deal, HMM adopted SVESSEL, an advanced smart
ship solution developed by SHI. SVESSEL has been implemented to five out of 12
24,000-TEU containerships transferred to HMM this year.
HMM
is also planning to operate a smart ship control centre to observe the safety
and efficiency of ships in real-time, which will look at the range of data such
as cargo information, service routes, locations, weather, and vessel
conditions.
