Class society ABS and Samsung Heavy Industries Co. (SHI) are collaborating on a joint development project (JDP) which will use smart ship technology to perform structural health monitoring of a vessel’s hull, says an article published in Bunkerspot.
Scheduled for delivery
SHI’s Hull Stress Monitoring System (HSMS) will be developed in accordance with the ABS Smart Functions Guide and the solution will be installed on a newbuild container ship scheduled for delivery in 2024.
Smart platform
The HSMS software will be integrated into SHI’s proprietary SVESSEL Smart Platform, which is designed to facilitate the transition from analogue-based conventional ship systems towards a digital-based lifecycle vessel management approach.
At the conclusion of the DJP, SHI will be eligible to receive a Product Design Assessment (PDA) for SMART (SHM), Tier 3. Vessels which have the HSMS system onboard will be eligible to receive the notation ABS SMART (SHM) Tier 3.
Commitment to advance safety and efficiency
‘Together with SHI, we are committed to advancing safety and efficiency with the application of smart software and digital techniques,’ said Patrick Ryan, ABS Senior Vice President, Global Engineering and Technology.
‘As a leader in supporting the adoption of smart technologies at sea, we are proud to work with forward-looking companies such as SHI to continue to develop practical applications for the technology with a focus on safer operations.’
