Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) and IBM Japan announced the joint development of an AI-powered platform that integrates a wide range of information related to vessel operations to improve decision-making.
Focused on MOL's Safety Operation Support Center (SOSC), which supports the safe operation of the company's affiliated vessels worldwide, the platform centrally manages information—such as weather and sea conditions, navigation status, and geopolitical events—that was previously scattered across multiple sources. By quickly identifying critical information for ships, the platform not only accelerates decision-making but also enhances the quality of operational decisions.
In recent years, the maritime operations environment has become increasingly complex due to rapid changes in weather and sea conditions, as well as the growing influence of geopolitical factors. Under these circumstances, MOL's SOSC has faced the challenge of balancing quality and speed in decision-making, extracting critical events from a vast and dispersed volume of information, synthesizing multiple factors, and making important judgments simultaneously.
This platform, which became operational on July 1st, was developed by integrating the SOSC's accumulated experience in maritime operations, the AI technologies of MOL Information Technology India PVT (Molit), and IBM Japan's expertise in AI and data utilization. The development leveraged the IBM Garage methodology, which allows for a comprehensive approach, from proposing system designs tailored to customer needs to development and implementation.
