The new platform, which uses a network of sensors, will allow ship operators to gain access to ship voyage information, including location, weather, and ocean current data as well as on-board equipment and cargo status data.
Planned to be developed using Hyundai Heavy Industries’ on-ship platform and the Accenture Connected Platforms as a Service (CPaaS), the platform will apply various digital technologies to provide operators with potential cost savings.
Ship owners will be able to monitor a vessel’s status in real-time using real-time analytics and data visualisation technology for decision-making that will support more efficient operations.
