Data, digital twins and artificial intelligence are going to reshape everything in maritime from regulation to operating procedures challenging the industry to respond to a new safety protection frontier, reports ABS.
That was the message from Christopher J. Wiernicki, ABS Chairman and CEO in a wide-ranging keynote address at the Capital Link Shipping and Marine Services Forum in London.
AI’s ability
“AI’s ability to generate real time insights, risk assessments and behavior monitoring will improve hazard detection through visualization. Digital twins will be used to provide an operational representation of current performance and to project forward. This predictive ability allows us to tackle the major boundary condition of digitalization and decarbonization – the unintended safety consequences of rapid technological advance,” said Wiernicki.
“I believe this new forward-looking, predictive safety frontier represents nothing less than a paradigm shift in the performance of our industry, with the potential to unlock huge safety gains. But there remains significant work to be done in training, systems development and cybersecurity, to mention a few areas, to ensure the industry is able to fully capitalize on the opportunity before us.”
