COSCO Shipping subsidiary joins One Sea Association

COSCO Shipping Technology has developed several technologies that support autonomous operations onboard. These include a behaviour perception system which aims to reduce navigational errors and a situational awareness system that is expected to be deployed on ten vessels by the end of 2023.
 
One Sea Secretary General, Sinikka Hartonen, said: “We are delighted to welcome COSCO Shipping Technology to the One Sea Association. Over the last 12 months, One Sea has continued to grow and as an international association, representation from across the global shipping sector has been key to providing a comprehensive industry perspective to our work related to rule and technology development throughout the maritime transport chain.”
 
COSCO Shipping Technology Head of AI Applications, Mr Liu Jun, said: “At COSCO Shipping Technology, our mission is to push the boundaries of maritime technology and develop solutions that have the power to enhance safety, sustainability and efficiency. At a time when autonomous shipping technology continues to develop at pace, international collaboration is essential and One Sea provides an established platform for stakeholders to come together to address industry challenges and contribute to the development of international regulations for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). We are very pleased to be part of the One Sea Association and look forward to working with One Sea and its members.”
