全球散货船自主航行里程碑！ABS“首证”花落中国

Core Viewpoint - The "CS JINAN" vessel, developed by China Shipbuilding Group's 704 Research Institute, has received the first autonomous navigation certification from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for a large ocean-going bulk carrier, marking a significant milestone in the development of autonomous navigation technology in the shipping industry [1][3]. Group 1 - The "CS JINAN" vessel is recognized as the world's first ocean-going bulk carrier to receive ABS's autonomous navigation certification, setting a new technical benchmark for the industry [1][3]. - The certification process involved comprehensive and rigorous real-ship testing of the vessel's autonomous navigation system, validating its capabilities in perception integration, collision avoidance decision-making, and under-manned control [3]. - The autonomous navigation system on the "CS JINAN" will effectively reduce human operational risks and enhance operational efficiency for shipowners, representing a significant advancement in the capabilities of large ocean-going bulk carriers [3]. Group 2 - The 704 Research Institute is a leading developer of autonomous navigation systems in China, focusing on the intelligent and green transformation of the shipping industry, with over ten types of autonomous navigation systems delivered for various applications [5]. - The ABS certification follows previous recognitions from Lloyd's Register (LR) and China Classification Society (CCS), highlighting the institute's significant achievements in the field of autonomous navigation [5]. - The 704 Research Institute aims to leverage this certification to further develop digital, intelligent, and unmanned technologies for various vessel types, including LNG carriers and oil tankers, promoting the large-scale implementation of smart shipping technologies globally [5].
