For example, for the first time, the hull structure construction monitoring technology of China Classification Society was adopted in super-large container ships, and the high-stress thick plate areas of the ship were carefully carved. Through the application of the latest TOFD-PAUT non-destructive testing technology, the application of a series of new technologies has greatly improved the construction accuracy and ship construction quality, effectively increasing the operating life of the ship.
Hu Hongyu, deputy general manager of Changxing Shipbuilding, said in his speech that H3032 is the sixth 13500TEU container ship delivered by Hudong China for COSCO Shipping. With the joint promotion of ship owners, classification societies and ship companies, this series of 8 13500TEU container ships are the earliest container ship application project in my country to carry out top-level design of intelligent ships and propose overall planning. The "Lotus" has achieved the intelligent goals of "intelligent navigation", "intelligent cabin", "intelligent energy efficiency" and "intelligent platform", and has obtained the full set of smart ship additional logos for China Classification Society i-Ship and the world's first ship network security certificate. In the future, Hudong China will strive to implement the outline of the China Shipbuilding Corporation's high-quality development strategy, continue to build a more diversified and green and environmentally friendly all-round intelligent ship for shipowners, and provide strong support for COSCO Shipping to continue to maintain its dominance and leading position in the world shipping market.
Chen Xiang, deputy general manager of COSCO Shipping Consolidation Transportation, said that in the past two years, Hudong China Changxing Shipbuilding has adhered to the concept of high-quality development and building first-class ships, carefully organized construction, and communicated and cooperated closely with ship owners and classification society. It has successfully completed the construction of five 13500TEU container ships in Changxing Shipbuilding area, showing its strong strength. We hope to have more cooperation opportunities with COSCO Shipping Corporation to provide capacity guarantee for the grand goal of achieving leapfrog development and building a world-class fleet, and jointly contribute to the national maritime power strategy.
"Lotus" intelligent ship, in accordance with the requirements of E Navigation Strategy and MRV rules, uses advanced technical means such as ship status perception, big data and artificial intelligence to provide auxiliary decision-making support for crew operations, realize intelligent control of ship-strait linkage, improve shipping safety, reduce ship energy consumption, and improve operational efficiency. The "Lotus" intelligent ship was the first to propose the "1+N" intelligent application system framework. By building an integrated platform that integrates various functional systems, it realizes functions such as intelligent cabin, intelligent energy efficiency, and intelligent navigation. It has the ability to respond intelligently in the face of complex sea conditions and climate changes that occur when ships voyages.
intelligent integrated platform senses nerve endings through information spread throughout the ship, and keenly obtains all-round dynamic information of the ship in real time and builds the brain for ship decision-making. The intelligent platform can integrate the existing onboard information management system and the unified platform for subsequent new systems.
intelligent cabin system, through the diagnosis and prediction of ship electromechanical equipment, conducts status assessment and health management, realizes pre-warning of equipment failures, and promotes the transformation of equipment operation and maintenance from passive management to active management. The intelligent cabin can comprehensively utilize various information and data obtained by the status monitoring system to analyze and evaluate the operating status and health status of the mechanical equipment/systems in the cabin, and use it to make operation decisions and the formulation of maintenance plans; the
intelligent energy efficiency system can realize the energy efficiency evaluation and supervision of single-ship and fleets through the ship energy consumption model. Use intelligent auxiliary means such as speed optimization and trim optimization to improve ship navigation efficiency. Intelligent energy efficiency is used to monitor and automatically collect data on the ship's navigation status and energy consumption status, evaluate the ship's energy efficiency status, navigation and load status, and provide evaluation results and auxiliary decision-making to continuously improve the ship's energy efficiency management level;
intelligent navigation system, intelligent navigation refers to the use of computer technology, control technology, etc. to analyze and process the perceived and obtained information, and design and optimize the ship's route and speed. By perceiving the navigation situation, intelligently switch ship-shore communication routes, building a ship-shore coordinated route selection model, realizing comprehensive optimization of ship navigation risks, timeliness, costs, and energy consumption, and ensuring navigation safety.
"Lotus" intelligent ship has achieved leapfrog development from the two perspectives of key technologies and application scenarios, and its main highlights are reflected in five aspects.
