DNV has awarded Jiangnan Shipyard an Approval in Principle (AiP) for its Jiangnan Intelligent System JNIS (DATA), a standardised onboard data platform aligned with ISO 19847 and ISO 19848.
The platform integrates data from multiple manufacturers and systems to support ship-shore data exchange. DNV’s review covered validation of Jiangnan’s ship–shore data model, the creation of a unified onboard database and the yard’s wider digital infrastructure.
Jiangnan says it will continue testing the system ahead of installation on future ships, with expansion planned for applications such as remote inspection and data-driven verification.
“Receiving DNV’s D-INF(S) AiP is a major milestone in our digital transformation. The validation of JNIS (DATA) by DNV strengthens our ability to deliver intelligent, future-ready vessels and supports our commitment to secure, efficient, and standardised data sharing,” said Lin Qingshan, Jiangnan’s Vice President.
“In addition, the completion of a systematic gap analysis on our competence in building smart large containerships and LNG carriers, will help us to benchmark against industry best practice and lays the groundwork for further development in MASS systems and vessels.”
