NorthStandard will offer its members the opportunity to pilot digitalisation technology to reduce onboard risks

NorthStandard has become the first protection and indemnity (P&I) club to provide financial support to shipowning members to pilot digitalisation technology to reduce onboard risks.

The UK-headquartered club has offered to fully subsidise a pilot programme of technology that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify otherwise undetectable risks on ships.

“Our goal is to help reduce risks by making impactful technologies easier to try, measure and adopt,” said NorthStandard global head of loss prevention Colin Gillespie.

NorthStandard members can test ShipIn Systems’ base-level FleetVision on a vessel to gather evidence on its use to reduce risk and improve operations. Participating members can evaluate safety, compliance and efficiency benefits within their own context and generate data to inform broader rollout decisions, saidNorthStandard.

FleetVisionuses routine shipboard closed-circuit TV to generate actionable insights to help crews and shoreside teams reinforce best practices, strengthen situationalawareness and improve operational performance.
