Japan's shipping and shipbuilding companies are currently cooperating to build self-propelled vessels by 2025, hoping the global development will lead to a project that will significantly reduce accidents at sea, Japan's Nikkei newspaper reported on Thursday.
The project's participants, including the Mitsui, X-Linz and Nippon Yusen shipping companies, agreed to share costs and exchange experiences, and the development of the technology is expected to cost at least a few hundred million dollars, the newspaper said in a report on its Web site.
The intelligence-based guidance system will use techniques such as "Internet objects" - the connection of various devices to the network - to collect and analyze weather data at sea immediately and serious obstacles, as well as shipping information. Artificial intelligence will use this data to chart the most fuel efficient way The safest and the shortest.
Shipwreckers predict the causes of ship crashes and other problems, helping to avoid maritime accidents. Participating shipbuilding companies such as the United Japanese Navy will integrate the self-navigation system into the new ship models, which are planning to build some 250 of them.
The cooperation between shipping companies and shipbuilding companies is aimed at helping Japan take the lead in technology development that is expected to grow worldwide. Japanese shipbuilding companies, whose global share has fallen, aim to return to technology excellence.
