China will basically complete the top-level design of smart shipping development next year
Fully automated container terminal, unmanned cargo ship, ship-shore integration... An innovative breakthrough constantly refreshes the automation level of the traditional industry of shipping, but before the arrival of the real smart shipping era, more and more comprehensive exploration is still in progress. .
On October 25th, the 2nd "New Era, Great Navigation, Strong Country Dreams - Intelligent Shipping and Innovation Development" Summit was held in Shanghai Lingang, with experts and scholars on smart ships, smart air insurance, smart ports, intelligent shipping services and Issues in areas such as smart shipping regulation have been extensively explored.
China will basically complete the top-level design of intelligent shipping development next year.
"As a new format of modern shipping, how intelligent shipping can integrate shipping elements with high-tech such as modern information and artificial intelligence is a problem that needs to be deeply considered by the shipping industry on a global scale." Former Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Transport, International Maritime Organization The ambassador of the sea, Xu Zuyuan, said that from a global perspective, the Japanese mail ship completed the first global trial of the ship's autonomous navigation system based on the IMO (International Maritime Organization) "Interim Guide for Autonomously Driving Ships" in September this year. In China, the construction and research of intelligent shipping is also booming. The “ZhiTeng” successfully implemented the remote driving demonstration in Qingdao on May 16 this year.
It is reported that in May this year, the 7 departments of the United Nations Development and Reform Commission of the Ministry of Transport issued the "Guiding Opinions on Intelligent Shipping Development", clarifying that by the end of 2020, China will basically complete the top-level design of intelligent shipping development; by 2025, break through a number of restricted intelligence The key technology of shipping development has become the global intelligent shipping development and innovation center; by 2035, the core technology of intelligent shipping is more comprehensively mastered, and the intelligent shipping technology standard system is relatively perfect; by 2050, a high-quality intelligent shipping system will be formed.
“Looking at the global smart shipping field, Europe and the United States are in the first echelon, followed by Japan and South Korea. China is currently in a state of follow-up. China plays an important role in the international political economy, and should share its Chinese experience in the field of intelligent shipping and propose a 'China program'. So, right now It is not necessary to seize the historical opportunity to achieve 'curve overtaking'," said Huang Youfang, chairman of the China Maritime Society and president of Shanghai Maritime University.
Promote shipping safety with high-tech means
The development of intelligent shipping involves many aspects, among which maritime safety guarantees are the most concerned, which directly determines the acceptance and feasibility of intelligent shipping.
"The data shows that 62% of the world's shipwrecks are caused by human factors. Safety is always the biggest pain point in the shipping industry." Wang Hejun, director of the East China Sea Navigation Protection Center, said at the forum that once the ship is in distress, it faces a major life. And the loss of property, so it is still urgent to improve shipping safety.
On September 20th, across the busy Yangtze River, the world's first main railway bridge with a span of over 1,000 meters - Hutong Yangtze River Bridge Quanqiao Helong. During the construction of the bridge during the five-year period, 1,500 sub-traffic vessels and nearly 300 sub-boats and construction vessels “cross” were converged every day in the narrow waters of the bridge area, but “zero accidents, zero pollution, zero casualties” were realized.
Xu Guocai, Director of the Navigation Management Department of Zhangjiagang Maritime Safety Administration, said: "During the project, the VTS (ship traffic control system) duty officer is on duty at the rear stage, remotely monitoring, and regulating the upstream and downstream ship flow; The former command, unified dispatch, and the maintenance of the waters of the bridge area with the help of modern equipment and high-tech means."
According to Jiang Mingbao, chief engineer of the Ministry of Transport, in the era of intelligent shipping, not only the ship's own technical characteristics have undergone fundamental changes, but the operation mode of the entire shipping industry will also be reconstructed. “In the future, various new technologies will not only be used in the field of shipping safety, but will also make greater contributions to the modernization of the governance system of the entire shipping industry.”
The core technology for developing intelligent shipping needs to be broken
As a frontier trend in the development of the global shipping industry, intelligent shipping is also a key area for China to promote the construction of a strong transportation country, a maritime power, and a shipping power. It is of great significance for deepening shipping reform.
Yang Huaxiong, deputy director of the Water Transport Bureau of the Ministry of Transport, said that in recent years, China's intelligent shipping has developed rapidly, and has achieved remarkable results in terms of intelligent infrastructure, intelligent shipping services, and intelligent shipping supervision. Enterprises are the mainstay of the development of intelligent shipping. We must give full play to the role of market mechanisms, accelerate the establishment of an open cooperation mechanism for the development of intelligent shipping, and foster new formats for shipping development.
"The difficulty in developing intelligent shipping lies in its complexity. It needs constant research and continuous summarization in the development process to enhance its understanding. Intelligent shipping is cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary, and is subject to various technologies." Jiang Mingbao said At present, a number of key core technologies are in urgent need of breakthrough. Some important equipment and components have not yet formed large-scale production capacity. Developing intelligent shipping is a long-term task and cannot be rushed for success.
"Intelligent shipping construction is not only a technical issue, but also involves national laws, industrial policies, re-employment of related groups and shipping supervision. We only have to link together to explore the optimal development plan, and we are most likely to walk in The forefront of the intelligent shipping era." Xu Zuyuan pointed out.
