Vessel selection has always been an extremely time-consuming and complex task for charterers. Access to real-time data and accurate fuel performance modelling to help them choose the most effective ship for their needs has historically been challenging at best, and highly limited at worst, argues Pelle Sommansson, Chief Product & AI Officer, ZeroNorth.

Mrs Patrizia Kern, Chair of IUMI’s Data & Digitalisation Forum and Chair, Poseidon Principles for Marine Insurance, Head Marine, Director at Swiss Re Corporate Solutions highlights the need for all industry stakeholders to play their part in contribution to the net zero transition.

During another SMART4SEA Talk held by SAFETY4SEA back in June 2021, industry experts from ORCA AI shed light on the issue of shaping safer navigation with the help of artificial Intelligence, while discussed the opportunities that such AI-based navigation presents for collision avoidance.

Each country, following the guidance of the PSC regime it belongs, has specific PSC culture and practices but also each port has its own standards mostly depending on ships’ types calling at a port. Considering that each PSC Authority performs inspections during vessels’ port visit, a focus on ports’ PSC performance can reveal useful findings.

The DryBMS will grade the excellence of a company’s SMS against measurable expectations and targets without involving the burdens of excessive inspections. The standard describes the scoring methodology and cites the PDCS cycle as a way of implementing continual improvement within companies' activities.
