Currently, ShipDC is working to create a common platform for ship-related data, which will encourage the use of enormous data in the marine industry.

Sharing of data will enable IoS-OP members to improve their corporate value, including ecological initiatives, pursuit of ship safety and commercial efficiency, and designing of marine innovations to reinforce their competitiveness.

Moreover, K Line has decided to promote its IoS-OP Consortium membership status to the highest rank of Platinum to increase its contribution.

Through data use, both companies are aiming to achieve the safety of ships and economic rationality, in addition to the environmental contribution.

The move will also facilitate the collection, circulation, and application of data in the industry with IoS-OP at the core.
