Artificial Intelligence (AI) will transform tomorrow\u2019s systems to provide self-optimizing ships under human supervision, says Pankaj Sharma, managing director of vessel optimization platform OneLink Performance<\/p>\n
Sharma says that AI is set to be the biggest transformative shift for maritime <\/a>with tomorrow\u2019s systems being able to decide and execute. \u201cThe future is self-optimizing ships with human-in-the-loop supervision,\u201d he says,<\/p>\n OneLink Performance believes the widespread adoption of AI-driven autonomous decision support systems that integrate multi-source data, including weather, vessel condition and port logistics, will be the next big step for the industry.<\/p>\n Enhanced digital twin<\/a>s of vessels will enable real-time simulation, condition based monitoring and predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and extending asset life cycles. Furthermore, blockchain-enabled secure data sharing will revolutionize transparency and compliance across the maritime supply chain, says Sharma.<\/p>\n OneLink is integrating a new tool: \u201cmy AI assistant\u201d to its service offering \u2013 to act as an onboard operation co-pilot. It will not only monitor KPIs but also recommend actions such as \u201cadjust RPM to reduce SFOC drift\u201d or \u201cinitiate lube oil top-up based on trace iron levels.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAutomation will shift the paradigm from reactive to predictive operations,\u201d says Sharma. \u201cToday\u2019s systems report, whereas tomorrow\u2019s systems will decide and execute under human supervision. AI will later evolve from predictive analytics to prescriptive and cognitive systems that can autonomously adjust vessel parameters and coordinate fleet-wide operations.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cEnhanced natural language processing and augmented reality interfaces will further empower crews, improving situational awareness and decision-making efficiency while maintaining safety and regulatory compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n My AI assistant could simulate three different RPM profiles for a voyage and suggest the most carbon-efficient plan, considering both technical and commercial metrics. It will also help find engine anomalies, suggesting not only what happened, but why, and how to avoid it.<\/p>\n OneLink<\/a> is a solution that unites a number of performance platforms within one, providing a powerful set of digital services and solutions to the shipping industry. OneLink\u2019s approach incorporates the latest digital tools such as using AR\/VR to create digital twins and applying machine learning to solve performance issues by predicting hull and engine health. As an aggregator of new and existing services, OneLink starts with a vessel portfolio of more than 900 vessels ranging from gas carriers to offshore platforms and has already secured a leading ship manager, Columbia Shipmanagement, as an early adopter.<\/p>\n The post AI will create self-optimizing ships, with a human in the loop, says OneLink<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
