NAPA and MOL have rolled out digital Navigational Risk; Monitoring Solution on over MOL's 700+ ships

Following joint development and testing with ClassNK, NAPA and MOL have rolled out cloud-based solution on over 700 of MOL's ships to intelligently monitor and mitigate navigational risks Helsinki, Finland and Tokyo, Japan January 26, 2022: NAPA, the leading maritime software, services, and data analysis provider, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL), one of the largest shipping companies in the world, and class society ClassNK have jointly developed a navigational risk monitoring system*, which has been adopted in MOL's fleet of over 700 ships.

Building on the combined expertise of all three partners in fields of ship operations, safe routing, and risk analysis, the solution aims to increase safety across MOL's fleet by predicting the risk of grounding in advance and alerting the shoreside teams, giving them greater situational awareness of navigation risks.

The solution is based on NAPA's cloud-based monitoring platform, NAPA Fleet Intelligence,which does not require any onboard hardware installation or crew input. By combining several data sources, such as position data, ship data, sea depth, and navigational charts,with NAPA's data on typical operational patterns, the solution provides users with a robust,reliable, easy-to-use fleet-wide platform to reduce mainly grounding risk. The system also incorporates carefully calculated alerts and notifications to shore-based safety operations teams whenever the increased navigational risk is detected, in turn, enhancing the ability to avoid and mitigate incidents.

Please refer to the March 25, 2021, press release:

NAPA, MOL, and ClassNK agree to joint further development for a comprehensive navigational risk monitoring system
