- Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) and IBM Japan have collaborated to create an AI-powered platform for improving vessel operations decision-making.
- The platform, which became operational on July 1, focuses on MOL’s Safety Operation Supporting Center (SOSC), which oversees the safe global operation of MOL vessels.
- It consolidates previously disparate data sources to offer centralized vessel operations monitoring and expedite identification of critical events.
- The platform includes an AI assistant that leverages generative AI for real-time risk identification based on historical and current operational data.
- The AI assistant supports the SOSC team through analysis for decision-making and promotes sharing and analysis of past accident data and operational knowledge.
- The platform was developed using SOSC operational expertise, MOL’s IT capabilities, IBM’s AI data utilization knowledge, and IBM’s Garage methodology.
- MOL aims to enhance the platform’s capabilities and expand its scope in collaboration with affiliated entities to improve safety in the shipping industry.
