According to Avikus, the collaboration marks the industry’s first fleet-wide PCTC deployment of an autonomous navigation system.
Under the agreement signed on July 9, Avikus will provide its HiNAS Control hardware and software, as well as full onboard commissioning and comprehensive crew training for retrofits of seven selected PCTCs to be completed by the first half of 2026.
As explained, HiNAS Control fuses sensor and voyage data in real-time, utilizing machine-learning algorithms to provide decision support for collision avoidance, route optimization, and track control, with an aim to reduce fuel consumption and operational risk.
The retrofit contract follows a collaborative trial that began in 2024 when HiNAS Control demonstrated fuel-saving performance of up to 3.9% during pilot operations, verified through onboard data analysis, enhanced voyage-planning accuracy, and AI-based collision avoidance support, Avikus said.
Hyundai Glovis intends to leverage Avikus’ technology to support its initiative of achieving 2045 Net Zero, as part of its broader ESG strategy and company-wide digital transformation strategy.
“Embracing AI is central to Hyundai Glovis’ vision of a smarter, global logistics network that meets environmental standards,” Jungsuk Kim, VP, Shipping Division, Hyundai Glovis, commented.
“The positive operational and verified improvements in fuel efficiency and route optimization during pilot operations led to adopt HiNAS Control across seven PCTCs. This retrofit aims to improve safety and efficiency, and contribute to reduced carbon emissions in vehicle logistics.”
