HMM is closely working together with DSME on the research, development, and innovation in the field of smart ship technologies.
MoU agreement
The MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) signed by two parties includes:
- Research on real-time service systems based on IoT (Internet of Things);
- Design on-shore platform for optimised fleet operation;
- Development of automated warehousing systems for ship materials;
- Development of economic navigation solutions.
Smart ship solution
HMM promote innovation of smart ship technologies underway of directly reflecting and testing operational data
HMM plans to promote the innovation of smart ship technologies underway of directly reflecting and testing operational data on its container vessels.
A certain part of the smart ship solution related to optimised ship operation has already been completed and will be applied to seven out of twelve 23,000 TEU mega containerships ordered to DSME last year.
Environmental regulations and digitisation
The ships are scheduled to be sequentially delivered from April 2020. HMM, the official said, "Joining forces between HMM and DSME will create a huge synergy."
"HMM will preemptively respond to both environmental regulations and digitisation through operating 23,000 TEU ships outfitted with smart ship technologies."
