Collaboration for Autonomous Technology for Ships. This was the goal of the union between ABS and HD Hyundai. During the world’s largest technology fair, held in Las Vegas from January 5 to 8, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), they announced the end of understandings regarding the following topics that favor the maritime industry. They are Autonomous Machinery Health Management, Autonomous Safety, Autonomous Gas Fuel Supply System, and Smart Boil-off Gas Management. All agreements for these areas were based on artificial intelligence.

The agreement is being guided by the experience with the Prisma Courage. The ship is a carrier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) with a capacity of 180,000 m³. Departing from Freeport on the Gulf Coast of Mexico, the traveled route had 20,000 kilometers of autonomous navigation, passing through the Panama Canal and destined for the Boryeong LNG Terminal located in Korea.

The journey was controlled by the HiNAS 2.0 system from Avikus, a subsidiary of HD Hyundai. The system operates with artificial intelligence technology that utilizes autonomous driving through big data and IoT (Internet of Things), taking into account the presence of other vessels on the route, as well as maritime and weather conditions. The event was a milestone for the entire maritime industry, as assessed by one of the signatories of the agreement.

The idea is to carry out joint development projects (JDPs) starting from the first quarter of this year. For this purpose, in addition to Avikus, the memorandum includes Korea Shipbuilding and Offshore Engineering (KSOE), another subsidiary of HD Hyundai. The model follows the strategic guidelines outlined in the agreement signed in 2022.

Resolution of Operational Challenges and Certifications

The ABS is a Global Certifications, Audits, Inspections, and Training company for Quality, Environmental, Occupational Health and Safety, Social Responsibility, Energy Management, Asset Management, Information Security, Data Privacy, and other topics. With operations in the oil, nuclear, government, maritime, wind energy and renewable, and mining industries, it currently operates in more than thirty countries.

In these operations, the goal is to provide safety management, risk management, and integrity management, undertaking significant challenges with major players in the related industries, such as HD Hyundai for the maritime industry.

For this industry, the control of ships through artificial intelligence is an achievement for hardware and software technologies, since the maintenance cost of this equipment is much higher than that of human labor. They are challenges because they also have low economic viability, not to mention that ports need to have technology and be designed to accommodate these vessels. There is also the need to circumvent those who, instead of facing the challenges, prefer to view the issue as merely a marketing ploy. However, this does not seem to be the belief of the JDPs, and whether this horizon is near is what they promise.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

The woman who heard a silent alert in the villages of Kenya and transformed the lack of firewood, water, and food into a movement that began with simple seedlings and grew to over 51 million trees planted.

Brazil launches the new national identity in Paraguay, where more than 250,000 Brazilians live, and the document eliminates the need for a passport in 8 South American countries and provides access to 5,000 digital government services.
