Samsung Heavy Industries(SHI) and leading classification society DNV have inked a Memorandum of Understanding(MOU) at KORMARINE, committing to establishing SHI's state-of-the-art Remote Operation Centre(ROC) for real-time monitoring and control of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships(MASS).
The MOU will underpin DNV and Samsung Heavy Industries’ collaboration to drive innovation and redefine the future of marine transportation.
The joint venture seeks to develop a Remote Operation Centre(ROC) for MASS, advance the future of autonomous shipping by harnessing cutting-edge technology, including the Internet of Things(IoT) and cybersecurity platforms, and ensure safe and smooth operations.
It will also explore remote assistance technologies that underpin the concepts of autonomous ships and their practical applications. DNV will advise SHI on its ROC concept and later certify it according to the relevant regulations.
