Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. is building an eco-friendly wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) that is equipped with smart ship features of Monacobaseded maritime player Eneti Inc.
The two firms signed a contract last week to add Eneti’s smart ship system to a WTIV being built by Daewoo at its Okpo shipyard on Geoje Island.
It is the first time that smart technology has been employed in the offshore plant industry.
The solution, named DSME Smartship Solutions (DS4), detects nearby vessels and the surrounding environment to offer a rational course of navigation based on real-time monitoring.
