In order to promote the spread and development of innovative technologies, ClassNK has offered Innovation Endorsement for Products & Solutions.

ClassNK supports the deployment of products and services through third-party certification for equipment and software technology with innovative functions.

Bearing CII Optimizer

It enables the prediction of future fuel consumption and end-of-year CII ratings

Bearing CII Optimizer is an AI-powered CII management solution. In addition to estimating current CII ratings, it enables the prediction of future fuel consumption and end-of-year CII ratings.

Furthermore, it features functions such as visualising CO2 emissions under different operating conditions, quantifying measures and their effectiveness in achieving the target CII rating for each vessel and providing a user-friendly interface.

ClassNK has verified the functions of Bearing CII Optimizer, which includes:

  • 1. Monitoring the current CII ratings for vessels without manual data entry,
  • 2. An interactive user Interface to visualise the CII ratings for vessels and display potentially problematic vessels,
  • 3. Forecasting end-of-year CII ratings based on expected operation patterns and forecasted weather conditions, using AI-powered vessel performance models,
  • 4. Simulating various operating conditions (e.g., vessel speed or days sailing per month) and estimating their impact on the CII rating, using AI-powered vessel performance models, and
  • 5. Estimating the impact on costs, emissions and mileage based upon different operating conditions, and issued a certificate to the company.

ClassNK supports innovative technologies and initiatives

ClassNK will continue to further promote its Innovation Endorsement for Ships, Products & Solutions, and Providers, and strive to support innovative technologies and initiatives.
