Bureau Veritas (BV), Laskaridis Shipping and METIS Cyberspace Technology, have agreed to embark on a pilot project to develop and apply a new BV SMART 3 Class notation covering the use of augmented data in ship operations.
BV has developed a framework of SMART notations for ships, which provide consistent and uniform standards for the ‘smart’ techniques used to monitor and improve fleet performance.

In a new ‘Smartship’ pilot project, BV is working with Laskaridis Shipping and METIS to develop class notations adapted to the latest advances in digitalization technology, with a focus on augmented ship. The SMART 3 notation will also cover ship to shore connectivity, remote decision support and remote operations.
The new SMART 3 class notation is expected to provide added value for owners, shipyards and manufacturers of digital solutions for the maritime industry.
Paillette Palaiologou, Vice President for Southeast Europe, Black Sea & Adriatic Zone at Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore, commented:
The new range of notations will help advance the journey towards more digitalized and autonomous ships
In another development, Bureau Veritas is now teaming up with Danaos to develop a CII REALTIME notation. This new notation will recognise the implementation of a digital process that helps to collect DCS data and compute the CII data on a regular basis.
The notation process will cover the data collection from ship as well as the ship to shore transfer data onto Bureau Veritas servers. The software package “DANAOS WEB ENTERPRISE EDITION“ is used as the pilot for the development of the notation.
The notation will guarantee that the DCS data, as well as the CII, are reliable, consistent and available for the Administration at the 1st of January of the year N+1. The CII data, hosted by BV as an independent third party, could be made public to any interested 3rd party upon request and agreement of the owner.
