近日，韩国造船海洋（HD KSOE）建造并交付了全球首艘配备”AI发动机”的商船。这一基于人工智能（AI）的发动机自动化解决方案被应用到了韩国船东H-Line Shipping的18万吨级液化天然气（LNG）双燃料散货船上。该方案由韩国造船海洋和H-Line Shipping共同开发，其核心为综合设备自动化控制系统（HiCBM）和船舶综合安全管理系统（HiCAMS）。这些智能系统能够实时诊断船舶关键设备的运行状况，同时还能立刻检测并识别包括火灾在内的船上紧急状况。从本质上讲，它们就是“AI船员”，能够在船舶航行期间代替船舶工程师、甲板船员完成部分工作。该系统在美国船级社（ABS）的监督下进行了试运行，证实了其安全性及可靠性。

South Korea’s shipbuilding major HD Korea Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (HD KSOE) has constructed and delivered the world’s first ship equipped with an ‘AI engineer’. The company has delivered and installed an AI - based engine automation solution onboard H-Line Shipping’s colossal 180,000 - ton LNG - powered bulk carrier. ‘AI engineer’ are the result of collaborative efforts of HD Korea Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and H - Line Shipping and they include the Integrated Condition Diagnosis Solution (HiCBM) and Integrated Safety Control Solution (HiCAMS). These intelligent systems operate in real time to diagnose the condition of critical ship equipment while also swiftly detecting emergencies, including fires. Essentially, they stand as AI sailors, capable of functioning in lieu of onboard engineers and deck crew during ship operations. The trial operations, conducted under the scrutiny of the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), affirmed the reliability and safety of these systems, HD Hyundai said.
