Avikus, HD Hyundai’s autonomous and remote navigation subsidiary, will deploy its technology on 30 ships belonging to compatriot Korean firm, H-Line Shipping.
HiNAS Control is an AI-powered autonomous navigation system developed by Avikus, integrating data from various navigation devices and sensors to guide and control ships along optimal routes and speeds. Previously, Avikus demonstrated up to a 15% fuel saving during a 9,334 km trial voyage.
Myung-deuk Seo, CEO of H-Line Shipping, said, “Technological innovation is essential to actively address increasingly stringent environmental regulations and create a sustainable future. The adoption of HiNAS Control is expected to strengthen our global competitiveness.”
“This contract is another opportunity to demonstrate the safety and efficiency of HiNAS Control,” Avikus CEO Lim Do-hyeong said in a statement. “Moving forward, we aim to expand our collaboration with not only domestic shipping companies but also with global players in the maritime industry.”
