JAPAN's Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) and MTI have installed a trial lookout support system on a ship operated by NYK, reports Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide.
The lookout support system uses binoculars to visually recognise dangerous objects.
The new system will be installed on a trial basis to verify if the ship's safety can be improved by automating the task of recognising dangerous objects.
The system uses a camera unit that can shoot day and night to automatically recognise ships and targets.
In addition, the system is epoch-making, independently recognising small fishing boats and small markers that are not captured by radar.
