MAJOR maritime software, services, and data analysis provider, NAPA, and Japan's shipping line MOL have jointly developed a navigational risk monitoring system, which has been adopted in MOL's fleet of over 700 ships.
Building on the combined expertise of all three partners in fields of ship operations, safe routing, and risk analysis, the solution aims to increase safety across MOL's fleet by predicting the risk of grounding in advance and alerting the shoreside teams, giving them greater situational awareness of navigation risks, reports Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide.
The solution is based on NAPA's cloud-based monitoring platform, napa Fleet Intelligence, which does not require any onboard hardware installation or crew input.
By combining several data sources, such as position data, ship data, sea depth, and navigational charts, with NAPA's data on typical operational patterns, the solution provides 'users with a robust, reliable, easy-to-use fleet-wide platform to reduce mainly grounding risk,' a statement said.
The system also incorporates carefully calculated alerts and notifications to shore-based safety operations teams whenever the increased navigational risk is detected, in turn, enhancing the ability to avoid and mitigate incidents.
