MOL and ShipDC to share more ship data

MOL has already shared data from several vessels. This expansion will significantly increase the amount of ship operation data transferred to IoS-OP and will enable stakeholders to increase ship safety and economic efficiency, further environmental initiatives and strengthen international competitiveness.

“Representing not only MOL but also IoS-OP consortium as its chairperson, I am glad to announce the agreement to boost the data use and digital transformation of the maritime industry,” commented Yoshikazu Kawagoe, senior managing executive officer, MOL.

“Adding 180 ships in MOL’s operation, the data available at IoS-OP is expected to reach 500 ships in due course, which offers the unique and practical opportunity to utilise the ship operation data. I am convinced the increase of data volume will bring about better data-driven solution from IoS-OP,” he added.

MOL and ShipDC aim to improve safety and environmental practices as well as efficiency through the use of this data as well as further accelerate the adoption of IoS-OP.
