Harnessing advanced technology to best effect

摘要

Nordic propensity for giving practical effect to innovation is exemplified by Stena Line's goal to realise artificial intelligence (Al) assistance throughout the Swedish company's international organisation by 2021. A key building block in the strategy has been the implementation of a pilot project aboard a ro-pax ferry whereby an Al model is being developed in collaboration with Hitachi to help predict the most fuel-efficient way of operating the ship on a specific route. The study involves the 58,000gt Stena Scandinavica, a mainstay of the Gothenburg/Kiel service, and is being conducted under the supervision of senior master Jan Sjostrom.
