Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, NYK Bulk & Projects Carriers and MTI have completed a 35-day experiment using IoT sensors* to measure the holds of dry bulk vessels on 5 December, effectively confirming the effectiveness of the system in actual voyages. The experiment conducted this time was an operational experiment of 24-hour remote monitoring and data collection in the hold. With the cooperation of Nippon Steel Corporation, temperature and humidity sensors were installed in the holds of Global Mirai, a steel carrier bound for Mexico, and data was collected. The data was then transmitted to the ship's bridge, and the status of the holds was monitored from a dedicated PC. In the future, we intend to increase the number of vessels equipped with the system, accumulate more data, and analyze it. The three companies have developed a new system that does not require any construction work on the vessel. The new system is a comprehensive management system for reducing the risk of damage to cargo. It features 24-hour remote monitoring and data collection of the holds of dry bulk vessels, analyses of past data, and visualization of cargo-damage risks based on predictions of future conditions. Sensors connected to a network to collect and manage information as part of IoT innovation, or the Internet of Things, which makes it possible to connect everyday things to the internet.
