The software is expected to be installed on approximately 120 vessels by 2021, and will be linked with the KAWASAKI Integrated Maritime Solution (K-IMS) platform already used by “K” Line ships, previously developed in collaboration with KHI.
“K” Line notes that it conducted tests of the new weather routing system with KHI on various types of vessels, and found that the roll, pitch and fuel consumption estimates created by the technology matched actual voyage results with a high level of accuracy.
Consequently, the decision was taken to roll-out the software across the fleet over the next few years, the Japanese shipping company said.{/mprestriction}
