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.

Resolution of Operational Challenges and Certifications

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

A study reveals that climbers who reach the summit of Everest breathe only 30% of the oxygen available at sea level and may return with atrophy of the cerebral cortex, concentration difficulties for weeks, and possible neurological damage associated with extreme altitude.

Brazil becomes a member of the IEA and could become a protagonist in ocean energy by accessing advanced technologies, attracting international capital, and accelerating the transformation of the energy matrix.

The Brazilian government and Spain signed a strategic agreement on critical minerals this week and accelerated plans to attract investments, dominate essential technologies, and position Brazil as a competitive hub in the new global economy.

Weighing less than 250 grams and comparable in size to a smartphone, a microdrone with 3D-printed propellers reaches 340.78 km/h and enters the Guinness World Records as one of the fastest electric quadcopters ever built.

China imposes billion-dollar fines on seven e-commerce platforms after violations in food delivery and pressures the sector to correct flaws that affect trust, food safety, and consumer experience.
