Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (K Line) shake hands with Ship Data Center (ShipDC) in order to share operational data of the entire K Line fleet installed with Kawasaki Integrated Maritime Solutions under the IoS-OP data sharing platform.
In fact, the Internet of Ships Open Platform (IoS-OP) is a universal platform that enables the sharing of ship operation data among shipbuilders, manufacturers, and related service providers without compromising profits of data providers.

It is known that K Line had so far stored operation data collected from several vessels equipped with Kawasaki Integrated Maritime Solutions to IoS-OP.
Therefore, the company has now agreed to expand the sharing for all its owned fleet of about 140 vessels.
“Though the development of information and communication technology has made it possible to collect large and various data from ships in operation, approaches for data collection and analysis are still fragmented. For encouraging big data use in the maritime industry, ShipDC is working for the common platform for ship-related data”.
…K Line stated.
Under their collaboration, both sides goal to increase the amount of ship operation data transferred in IoSOP, and enable IoS-OP members to fully utilize the shared big data to enhance their corporate value, which includes the pursuit of ship safety and economic efficiency, environmental initiatives, and the creation of maritime innovations to strengthen their competitiveness.
“K LINE and ShipDC aim for safety of ships, contribution to the environment, and economic rationality through the data utilization as well as further acceleration of the collection, distribution, and utilization of data in the maritime industry with IoS-OP at the core”.
…as collaborators said in a press release.
