Affirming its position at the helm of the futuristic shipping industry, HiNAS Control, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered autonomous navigation system, has received a design verification report from DNV. This groundbreaking development arrives as a fruitful collaboration between Avikus, a renowned navigation expert, and the industry giant, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries. The Liberian International Ship and Corporate Registry has also acknowledged the system with an Approval in Principle.
HiNAS Control: The Optimal Blend of AI and Augmented Reality
The intelligence-driven “HiNAS Control” system solely relies on the power of artificial intelligence and augmented reality. It smartly amalgamates data from a multitude of navigation devices. This, in turn, bestows the capabilities of ships to avoid collisions autonomously while retaining optimal travel routes and speeds. The AI technology proves to be a boon for sailors, reducing fatigue, conserving fuel, and curtailing maritime accidents and emissions.
Navigational Safety Takes Priority in AI Integration
“Safety forms the essence of a Ship Classification society’s contribution to the maritime industry. We are elated to impart our expertise and competence towards the evolvement of HD Hyundai’s and Avikus’s technology,” stated Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO of DNV Maritime. As we harness advanced technologies, it equips seafarers and the maritime industry with potent tools to enhance their safety and environmental performance—crucial pillars for the maritime industry’s future.”
Liberian Registry Validates HiNAS Control’s Promise
Expressing pride about the Liberian Registry’s significant role in this project, CEO Alfonso Castillero remarked,” Our position as leaders in innovation is well-reflected in our involvement in the HiNAS Control design verification. We believe this cutting-edge technology will be instrumental to the global shipping industry’s safety and efficiency.”
DNV has utilized its class guideline for autonomous ships in evaluating this trailblazing innovation. It successfully assessed risk elements and upheld relevant standards. The roadmap to a safer and more efficient future for maritime navigation seems clear and achievable with new technologies such as HiNAS Control being developed and endorsed by leading sector players.
