What conditions do smart ships need to have before they can be classified?

What conditions are required for intelligent ships to be classified as follows:

The classification of intelligent ships needs to meet certain conditions, mainly covering the intelligent functions of ships. First of all, intelligent ships should have the ability to sail independently, including analyzing and processing meteorological, economic and logistics information, and designing and optimizing the ship's route and speed according to the analysis results. In addition, intelligent ships should also have the ability to deal with the problem of collision avoidance in open waters, and can automatically approach and leave the wharf, and have advanced autonomous navigation ability in narrow waterways and complex environments.

Intelligent hull is also an important part of intelligent ship. It should be able to establish and maintain the hull database, and based on the data of the hull database, provide auxiliary decision-making for the safety and structural maintenance of the hull throughout its life cycle. The intelligent engine room shall have the function of autonomous detection and monitoring, and provide operation suggestions.

At the same time, smart ships that meet these conditions must meet certain standards, such as the world's first smart ship specification. These standards define the additional marks and functional marks of intelligent ships, which provide sufficient support and basis for the classification of intelligent ships in the future. For example, China Classification Society (CCS) combined the application of new technology and the research of intelligent ship specifications and standards, and completed the revision and upgrade of specifications to meet the needs of the rapidly developing intelligent ship market.

Generally speaking, there are many conditions for the classification of intelligent ships, including but not limited to autonomous navigation ability, intelligent hull and intelligent engine room functions, and compliance with relevant codes and standards. The satisfaction of these conditions can ensure the safety, efficiency and environmental protection performance of intelligent ships.
