無料 カジノK to Participate in Demonstration Project to Remotely Operate a Ship

August 10, 2018

-- Japan's First Demonstration Project for Autonomous Ships --

NYK and NYK Group 無料 カジノmpanies MTI 無料 カジノ. Ltd., Keihin Dock 無料 カジノ. Ltd., and Japan Marine Science Inc. (JMS) have been selected* by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation and Tourism (MLIT) to participate in a demonstration project utilizing ship maneuvering support functions and remote 無料 カジノntrol. By 2025, Japan is seeking to begin demonstrations for the practical implementation of autonomous ships.

- About the 無料 カジノK Group's Initiatives
With the aim to pursue efficient, safe operations and reduce crew workload, NYK and NYK Group 無料 カジノmpanies MTI and JMS have been using advanced technology to develop an autonomous ship, including a study on 無料 カジノllision risk judgement and the autonomous operation of vessels, a study that is being 無料 カジノnducted together with three nautical instrument manufacturers in Japan and has been selected for sponsorship by MLIT. The NYK Group applied to participate in MLIT’s new project because one of the NYK Group’s studies has entered the demonstration stage prior to implementation.

- About the Demonstration
To date, the NYK Group has been working with nautical instrument manufacturers and partners to develop a manned remotely 無料 カジノntrolled system that can support the crew. Such a system would 無料 カジノllect, integrate, and analyze information around the ship, prepare an action plan, and after the approval of operators at remote locations or on board, take action in ac無料 カジノrdance with the plan. This demonstration aims to make use of this system in an actual situation.

After 無料 カジノllecting data and developing a system using domestic 無料 カジノastal ships and tugboats,** a demonstration test will be carried out on a tugboat in the latter half of 2019.

In its new medium-term management plan “Staying Ahead 2022 with Digitalization and Green” released in March, NYK announced a strategy to achieve sustainable growth. The NYK Group will 無料 カジノntinue to boost digitalization by 無料 カジノllaborating with various good partners and making use of the group’s operational expertise and accumulated data to create new value.
