• The companies will offer an integrated ‘autonomous navigation, berthing and speed control solutions’ package that covers not only newbuild vessels but also the retrofit market for existing ships.
• Samsung Heavy Industries will embed Orca AI’s AI-powered situational awareness platform as standard on newbuild vessels equipped with its Samsung Autonomous Ship (SAS) solution
• Joint R&D and data collaboration aims to accelerate the real-world deployment and scaling of autonomous vessel technologies using large-scale fleet data
London, UK – Leading maritime AI company Orca AI has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI), one of the world’s leading shipbuilders, to jointly accelerate the development, deployment and scaling of next-generation autonomous vessel technologies in real-world operations.
The phased collaboration will combine SHI’s autonomous solutions with Orca AI’s AI-powered maritime operations platform, enabling the scaled deployment of AI-assisted navigation, berthing, and speed optimisation across both newbuild vessels and existing fleets. (....)
