ABS has awarded Approval in Principle (AiP) to Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) for its Samsung Remote Operation Center (SROC), a new shore-based system designed to enable real-time vessel monitoring and remote management of key onboard functions.
The SROC technology was evaluated for compliance with the ABS Requirements for Autonomous and Remote-Control Functions and approved for its capability to manage auxiliary systems, cargo handling, and ballast and trim operations remotely.
“This achievement is the result of close collaboration and joint effort between our company and ABS,” said Dong Yeon Lee, SHI Executive Vice President, Ship and Offshore Research Institute.
“Our independently developed technology enables real-time monitoring and remote-control function for large commercial vessels and offshore units, ensuring enhanced safety, efficient maintenance support, and paving the way for remote inspections and unmanned operations.”
“We believe this milestone marks a significant step towards the future of smart and autonomous ship management.”
