近日，中国江南造船（集团）有限责任公司为上汽安吉物流股份有限公司建造的首艘7600车位液化天然气（LNG）双燃料动力汽车运输船正式下水。该型船设计总长199.9米，型宽38米；拥有13层载货甲板（包含4层活动甲板），配有舱容4000立方米C型双耳液罐，满足19000海里经济航速航行需求。该型船是一款符合国际最新排放规则的新一代超巴拿马型汽车运输船，建成后入级中国船级社（CCS）和挪威船级社（DNV）。值得一提的是，该型船由上海船舶研究设计院研发设计，拥有完全自主知识产权，配备WinGD X-DF主机及iCER系统、LNG围护和供气系统、滚装设备系统。

Jiangnan Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, has launched a 7,600 CEU liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual - fuel vehicle carrier being built for SAIC Anji Logistics, a subsidiary of China’s automobile manufacturer SAIC Motor. The vessel features a total length of 199.9 meters, a molded width of 38 meters. With 13 cargo decks including four movable decks, the vessels are also equipped with a C - type double - ear liquid tank with a capacity of 4,000 cubic meters, which meets the needs of 19,000 nautical miles at an economical speed. It is classed by the China Classification Society (CCS) and DNV, complying with international environmental regulations, the ship type represents a new generation of post - Panamax car carriers. This type of ship was developed and designed by Shanghai Ship Research and Design Institute, featuring WinGD X - DF main engine and iCER system, a comprehensive LNG containment and gas supply infrastructure, alongside a state - of - the - art ro - ro equipment system. 

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.

国际海上保险联盟（IUMI）的新研究表明，80%的汽车起火是车体和内饰部件引起的，而非推进系统。然而，与传统内燃机汽车不同的是，当电动汽车的电池发生不稳定的化学反应时，存在着热失控的可能性。热失控使火灾难以扑灭，因此必须迅速采取边界冷却等缓解措施。鉴于此，IUMI提出了关于电动汽车（EV）安全运输的部分建议：

①早期火灾探测和验证/确认十分重要，可缩短探测与应急响应之间的时间。除传统系统外，还可选择热像仪和人工智能系统。

②二氧化碳灭火系统若使用迅速，可成功扑灭汽车运输船（PCTC）火灾，其容量应增加一倍。高倍数泡沫灭火系统也能有效防止热量在汽车间的转移。

③经风险评估和控制措施后，应允许电动汽车在滚装船上充电，其内置的安全机制通常在充电时启动。

Research proves that vehicle fires are largely (approx. 80%) fuelled by the car body and interior parts rather than the propulsion system. However, the potential for thermal runaway (when the battery suffers an unstable chemical reaction) exists for EVs whereas it is not a consideration for ICEVs. Thermal runaway makes fires hard to extinguish, hence mitigation measures such as boundary cooling must be employed rapidly. In light of this, IUMI has published recommendations on the safe carriage of electric vehicles (EVs):

• Early fire detection and verification/confirmation is critically important to reduce the time between detection and firefighting response to a minimum. In addition to the conventional systems, could include thermal imaging cameras and AI powered systems.

• CO2 extinguishing systems, if applied quickly, are successful in fighting PCTC fires and their capacity should be doubled. High-expansion foam fire extinguishing systems have also proved to be effective to prevent heat transfer from one vehicle to another.

• Charging onboard ropax vessels should be permitted subject to relevant risk assessments and control measures. Safety mechanisms built into EVs are usually activated during charging.

瑞典哥德堡港务局已经开始与海事运营商合作，开发全新的港口码头数字通信解决方案。该方案能够促进信息透明化、决策精准化，不仅可以使哥德堡港每年减少约1000吨的二氧化碳排放，还可以减少船舶靠泊的时间和成本。例如，通过该数字通讯系统，船长可以在出发前36小时接收到与航线以及目的港——哥德堡港相关的所有信息，并在靠港前，根据港口停靠信息调整船舶进港速度，避免长时间的锚泊停留以等待泊位，从而减少碳排放。业内人士介绍，这一方案可以帮助船舶预订引航员和拖船、确定起重机的位置、查询实时风力以及识别港口船舶动态等，可以说是涵盖了港口运营的方方面面。据悉，该方案将于2024年初投入使用。

The Gothenburg Port Authority has started developing an entirely new digital port call solution in collaboration with maritime operators. Digital Port Call makes all information transparent, thereby enabling informed decisions. In addition to reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 1000 tons per year, the solution “Digital Port Call” will lead to time and cost savings for vessels calling at the port. Captains receive a comprehensive overview of the route to the Port of Gothenburg up to 36 hours before departure. Through a digital port call arrival declaration and its confirmation, the captain can adjust the speed into the port to minimize emissions and avoid anchoring and waiting for an assigned berth. “It encompasses everything from booking pilots and tugs, ensuring cranes are in the right position for the vessel, knowing the prevailing wind strength, to identifying the vessels in port. ” explains Fredrik Rauer. The tool is expected to be in use starting early 2024.
