In an effort to improve shipping efficiencies within the maritime industry, Japan’s Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) along with Bearing, Inc. shake hands and agreed to develop a range of products including an AI-powered smart routing engine.
To remind, both sides were first joined forces back in 2019. However, under their expanded collaboration and trough various trials concerning ship modeling, a range of products including a newly announced AI-powered Smart Routing Engine, has been developed by combining MOL’s maritime expertise and Bearing’s artificial intelligence (AI) technology infrastructure.

As explained, this routing engine automatically analyzes multiple potential routes for a given voyage and recommends prudent, efficient routing through use of optimal main engine output and propeller RPM profiles.
For the records, Bearing is a Silicon Valley-based AI technology startup that focuses on streamlining shipping operations.
“MOL, at its highest organizational levels, continuously monitors the condition of our fleet to ensure optimum operational efficiency and prudent safe navigation by combining the technologies of Bearing as well as other existing and new solutions. MOL accepts its social obligation to take innovative steps to help solve environmental issues such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, air pollution and biodiversity impediments”.
..the company said in its release.
