COSCO and SHI receive world’s first DNV type approvals for data collection systems

(IN BRIEF) COSCO and Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) have received DNV’s world-first D-INF(S) type approvals for their data collection systems. The D-INF(S) rules provide guidelines for the design, construction, and maintenance of a ship’s data infrastructure to improve connectivity, data sharing, analysis, and real-time monitoring, enhance safety, improve operational efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs. By implementing the class notation, the companies aim to lead in the digital transformation of the maritime industry and provide a standardized data sharing solution to their customers. COSCO has implemented data collection infrastructure through its subsidiary SSSRI and developed the Intelligent Integrated Platform System (IIPS), while SHI’s SVESSEL® BIG is a key component of its digitally enabled vessels.

(PRESS RELEASE) BÆRUM, 27-Mar-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — DNV, a leading provider of software solutions for the maritime industry, announces that COSCO and SHI have achieved a major milestone in the maritime industry by receiving the world’s first DNV D-INF(S) type approvals for their data collection systems. The approvals demonstrate their commitment to delivering standardized, safe, and reliable data infrastructure to their customers, as well as their ambition to lead the digital transformation of the industry.

The D-INF rules provide guidelines for the design, construction, and maintenance of a ship’s data infrastructure. By implementing the D-INF(S) class notation, COSCO and SHI are providing a solution that can enhance safety, improve operational efficiency, and reduce maintenance costs through improved connectivity, data sharing, analysis, and real-time monitoring.

Samsung Heavy Industries’ data collection infrastructure, SVESSEL® BIG, is a key component of the digitally enabled vessels they offer to their customers. With the D-INF(S) type approval of their smart vessel system, SVESSEL®, customers can be confident that the key data pipeline onboard their vessels has been verified to meet state-of-the-art standards for reliable, safe, and efficient information sharing.

“We are proud to have DNV verify our data collection infrastructure systems, SVESSEL® BIG” said Hyun Joe Kim, Vice President from SHI. “This is a testament to our commitment to providing safe, reliable, future proof and innovative solutions to our customers. With such systems delivered as part of the vessel infrastructure, our vessels are truly digitally enabled.”

COSCO Shipping has implemented a vessel-to-cloud data collection system, the Intelligent Integrated Platform System (IIPS), through its subsidiary Shanghai Ship and Shipping Research Institute (SSSRI). The IIPS system will be installed on a series of newbuild container vessels at the COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry shipyard in YangZhou.

“The verification of our data collection infrastructure systems by DNV demonstrates our dedication to meeting the highest standards in the industry and we are looking to continuously improve our smart fleet operation,” said Mr. Chen Gong, General Manager of SSSRI. “Standardized data infrastructure ensures that we can implement this in a cost-efficient way for the fleet.”

“We congratulate COSCO and SHI on this achievement and look forward to continuing close cooperation with them to drive maritime digitalization forward,” said Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO, DNV Maritime. “To reap the benefits of the digital transformation it is crucial that we as an industry establish a standardized approach and collaborate on data use to ultimately ensure safe, sustainable and efficient operations.”

The D-INF(S) notation for standardized solutions verifies that the data collection infrastructure systems can collect data from various systems and supports input and output according to a standardized ISO19847/19848 format, which facilitates the collection, exchange, trust, and use of data.
