11

During Gastech 2024, ABS granted approval in principle for two new autonomous technologies developed by HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE) and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), reports news.cision.

Joint development project

The AIPs are the culmination of a joint development project, part of a comprehensive memorandum of understanding between ABS and HD Hyundai to advance the development of autonomous navigation technology into critical vessel machinery and safety systems.

Gas safety features 

The Unmanned Ammonia Engine Room technology enables remote propulsion control with gas safety features on the navigation bridge of an ammonia-powered vessel, allowing for monitoring of the machinery space. The centralized control station can operate intermittently without personnel and can automatically take corrective measures in the event of machinery failure.

The AI Ammonia Safety Package applies advanced AI technologies for machinery management and interior and exterior safety management in conjunction with ammonia-fueled ship design. The package is integrated into HD Hyundai’s Integrated Safety Control Solution (HiCAMS, AI+Vision) and Integrated Condition Diagnosis Solution (HiCBM, AI+CBM) and features a rapid response fire-fighting station in the event of fire in the propulsion machinery space.
