KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 (Bernama) -- Artificial intelligence (AI) technology on ships is being implemented to reduce fuel consumption costs and to minimise environmental impact.
This
is based on a partnership between Hitachi Europe Ltd and Stena Line, one of the
largest shipping companies in Europe. Stena Line, also a ferry
operator aims to become the world’s leading cognitive shipping company by 2021.
Under
the partnership, a team of Hitachi experts from across its business units will
review the existing digital architecture, in close collaboration with Stena
Line and also advise the ferry company.
Controlling
fuel consumption is vital to Stena Line’s business, since it is a major part of
their total cost base. By leveraging cutting-edge AI technologies, Hitachi will
be able to identify the key factors causing high fuel consumption and advise
how to make operations more efficient.
Hitachi
in a statement said Stena Line is at the forefront of the shipping industry’s
efforts to reduce its environmental footprint whilst increasing efficiency
through the integration of smart technology.
Chief
Executive Officer, Hitachi Global Digital Holdings Corp, Corporate Officer of
Hitachi Ltd, Hicham Abdessamad said: “We are engaged with Stena Line on a
number of strategic co-creation initiatives and we see this as an important
next step in providing digital expertise to help them achieve positive business
and societal outcomes.”
Head
of digital strategy, Stena Line, Rune Kleiberg said they were pleased to have
Hitachi in their cognitive journey to improve fleet operation across ship and
shore, providing new capabilities for safer and more sustainable ferry
journeys.
