The 134,000-ton ship did have some human help along the way.
The LNG carrier, designed for transporting liquefied natural gas, sailed itself for roughly 12,427 miles. To achieve the feat, Avikus joined forces with specialists in autonomous navigation SK Shipping and equipped the 980-footer with an AI-powered system called HiNAS 2.0.According to the company, the self-steering technology uses artificial intelligence to assess the weather, wave heights and nearby ships to determine the best route. It then adjusts the vessel’s steering in real-time.
In this specific Pacific Ocean crossing, the system accurately recognized the locations of nearby boats to avoid a collision about 100 times. Avikus says it was also able to increase fuel efficiency by around 7 percent while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by about 5 percent. The self-propelled ocean crossing was monitored by the American Bureau of Shipping and the Korea Register of Shipping in order to assess the performance and stability of the tech. Avikus plans to commercialize HiNAS 2.0 this year after receiving a certification from ABS.statement
