LR certifies Evergreen ULCS as digital safe

SHI used its smart ship solution, SVESSEL, to develop the digital ship system on board Ever Forward. This solution provides operators and shore-based staff with instant access to data from onboard systems for monitoring and diagnostics, which they can use to make informed operational decisions and respond to issues more efficiently.

“We are delighted to support Evergreen with our latest smart ship solution which has been developed with the advances in information and communication technologies aiming to complete digitalisation of a ship and its applications to efficiently and safely assist operation,” said Yong-Lae Shim, vice president of SHI Ship and Offshore Research Institute.

“We believe digital transformation will revolutionise the maritime transportation industry and drive economic value for all stakeholders including shipowners and operators,” he added.

The Ever Forward has been built to class in line with LR Digital Ship notations with elements of SVESSEL certified against LR’s digital safe security notation, demonstrating that access for autonomous and remote monitoring of the ship’s systems has been provided and assessed.

LR also provided independent assurance services to Evergreen and SHI, applying the digital ship descriptive notation to the vessel in recognition of the work and certifying the digital ship system as safe.
