Maritime goes smart
The maritime industry in general is changing fundamentally as vessels transform into sophisticated sensor hubs, generating data and connecting through satellites in an expanding interconnected web.
To enable the uptake of these systems and unlock the associated efficiencies, the classification company DNV GL has opened a new chapter in its rules for ship classification: Digital Features.
The chapter was launched with three new notations (D-INF, DDV, REW) recently and will enter into force on 1 January 2021. A new Smart vessel notation (Smart) - a framework for assessing and visualising digital vessel features - was introduced as well. (cd)
