HMM has signed contracts with Avikus to introduce AI-based autonomous navigation solutions. As part of the initiative, the company has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering and Avikus for joint research and technical cooperation.
HMM will initially deploy autonomous navigation solutions across 40 vessels in line with the contracts. The initiative aims to enhance the performance of autonomous navigation technologies using actual operational data, while improving overall fleet competitiveness. HMM plans to expand the application across its entire fleet subject to the results.
Through the MOU, the three parties plan to pursue joint research to further advance AI-based technologies. As part of the collaboration, HMM will oversee deployment and provide operational data, HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering will deliver vessel platforms and technical support, and Avikus will supply and further develop autonomous navigation solutions.
