K Line to expand sharing of ship operational data

Posted On: 12-02-2021

K Line has been so far storing operational data collected from several vessels equipped with Kawasaki Integrated Maritime Solutions to IoS-OP. The company has now agreed to expand the sharing for its owned fleet of about 140 vessels. Though the development of information and communication technology has made it possible to collect large and various data from ships in operation, approaches for data collection and analysis are still fragmented, according to K Line. To encourage big data use in the maritime industry, ShipDC is working on a common replica watches platform for ship-related data. Specifically, the data sharing significantly increases the amount of ship operational data transferred in IoS-OP and enables IoS-OP members to fully utilize the shared big data to enhance their corporate value. This includes the pursuit of ship safety and economic efficiency, environmental initiatives, and the creation of maritime innovations to strengthen their competitiveness.
