    ABS and SpaceX Sign JDP on Remotely Controlled Rocket Recovery Droneships

    (PORT CANAVERAL) ABS has signed a joint development project (JDP) with SpaceX to review the remotely controlled functions of autonomous rocket recovery droneships used for booster rocket recovery at sea. The rocket recovery droneships are modified to include an expanded deck to increase the size of the landing platform, four thruster engines for propulsion and to hold on station, and blast shielding to protect electrical and engine equipment on deck. The droneships are entirely unmanned during landings, with a robot deployed on board to secure the rocket booster to the droneship before

    Harbor Tug Developed by Keppel O&M Receives First ABS Autonomous Notation

    (SINGAPORE) A remotely operated harbor tug developed by Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M) is the first in the world to receive the ABS Autonomous Notation. Already the holder of the first-ever ABS Remote-Control Navigation Notation, the 32-meter tug, which is owned and operated by Keppel Smit Towage, has now been recognized for its autonomous capabilities. Supervised by an onboard tug master, the second phase of the pioneering project saw the vessel perform autonomous collision avoidance tasks. The project was one of a series of industry-leading initiatives to inform the

    ABS Publishes Whitepaper on Autonomous Vessel Developments

    Whitepaper Builds on Pioneering ABS Autonomy and Remote-Control Projects (HOUSTON) ABS has published a whitepaper proposing a goal-based framework for future rules to enable autonomous vessel operations. The ABS Autonomous Vessels Whitepaper is designed to support the industry’s increasing adoption of autonomous capabilities with a focus on safe implementation. It sets out 10 goals to create a framework for the design and operation of autonomous vessels and addresses key issues in implementation. The whitepaper also includes an update on the outcome of the IMO’s Maritime

    ABS and HHI Group to Work Together on Autonomous Vessel Projects

    WonHo Joo CTO of HHI; KiSun Chung President and CEO of HHI Holdings and KSOE; SungJoon Kim CTO of KSOE: Patrick Ryan, ABS Senior Vice President Global Engineering and Technology; John McDonald, ABS Executive Vice President and COO and DoHyeong Lim CEO of Avikus sign the Strategic Framework Agreement. (LAS VEGAS) ABS and Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) are to work together on a series of autonomous projects. ABS specialists will work with HHI’s Korea Shipbuilding and Offshore Engineering (KSOE) and its autonomous navigation subsidiary, Avikus, to integrate autonomous and remote-control

    ABS Awards AIP to Smart Maritime Autonomous Vessel Technology

    AIP is the Latest Stage in Landmark Project from ST Engineering, POSH, M1 Limited and ABS(SINGAPORE) ABS has awarded Approval in Principle (AIP) to technology in an autonomous tug project from ST Engineering, POSH and M1 Limited. The Smart Maritime Autonomous Vessel (SMAV) project saw successful sea trials carried out in 2020 and has now received ABS AIP for its autonomous navigation and collision detection and collision avoidance (CDCA) technology. The POSH Harvest harbor tug was retrofitted with autonomous navigation and CDCA functions. These functions were remotely monitored from a

    ABS Publishes Guidance on the Application of Autonomous Functions

    Advisory introduces a Goal-Based Framework for Autonomous Development(HOUSTON) ABS has published industry-leading guidance on the journey to autonomy, including a goal-based framework for autonomous requirements.The ABS Advisory on Autonomous Functionality addresses the application of autonomous functions in the maritime and offshore industries, the infrastructure enabling these functions and key regulatory developments.“Autonomous technology is gradually reshaping the maritime industry, bringing benefits such as increased operational efficiency, human error reduction, emission
