French shipping giant CMA CGM announced collaboration, since the beginning of the year, with San Francisco-based startup company Shone, specializing in the use of artificial intelligence for maritime transportation.
The collaboration enables Shone to access the CMA CGM Group vessels to finalize the development of artificial intelligence systems onboard container ships.
In this way, CMA CGM allows Shone to take onboard data collection systems which are then analyzed at the startup’s headquarters in San Francisco. Once the development is finalized, this innovation is expected to facilitate the work of crews onboard, whether in decision support, maritime safety or piloting assistance.
Regarding security and anti-collision alert systems, Shone fuses data from multiple sensors (radar, camera, AIS, etc.) in order to increase detection accuracy, thus preventing potential collisions, taking into account COLREGs, CMA CGM informed.
This collaboration is fully in line with the Group’s strategy of innovation at the service of digital transformation implemented by Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and CEO of the CMA CGM Group.
