ClassNK grants Innovation Endorsement for Products & Solutions to “V-MO” developed by Asahi Kasei Engineering

ClassNK, a well-known company that checks and certifies ships, has given its special “Innovation Endorsement” to a new system called V-MO. This system was created by Asahi Kasei Engineering Corporation and helps to monitor the motors on big ocean ships. It uses advanced technology to keep an eye on how the motors are working, even in the difficult and shaky conditions out at sea.

What is V-MO?

The V-MO system is designed to watch over ship motors and keep them running smoothly. Ships often face vibrations (shaking) when they move through the ocean, which can be hard on their motors. The V-MO system is smart because it can still do its job well in these tough conditions.

Here’s how it works:

1. Continuous Monitoring: V-MO keeps a close watch on the motors all the time.
2. Cloud Data: It sends the information it gathers to a cloud system. This helps engineers on land manage the entire fleet of ships and fix any problems quickly.
3. Smart Algorithms: V-MO uses a special computer system that helps it understand the ship’s vibrations. This way, it can keep giving correct information about the motors, even when the ship is moving in rough waters.

Why is ClassNK’s Endorsement Important?

ClassNK gives Innovation Endorsements to new technologies that are really helpful for the shipping industry. They only give this endorsement after they check that the technology works well and is safe to use. ClassNK confirmed that V-MO can be used on ships that have their DSS notations. These are special labels that mean a ship has advanced digital technology.

By getting this endorsement, V-MO has shown it’s a trustworthy product. It helps engineers manage ship motors better, making the ships safer and reducing problems at sea.

How Does V-MO Help Ships?

1. Helps Engineers: The system helps engineers by watching and collecting data, so they don’t have to check the motors as often. If something goes wrong, the system alerts them right away.
2. Fleet Management: It helps ship companies keep track of many ships at once, using cloud technology. This saves time and money.

V-MO’s Importance for the Future of Shipping

With modern technology, ships are becoming smarter. Systems like V-MO are a big step forward in keeping ships running smoothly. As the shipping industry looks for ways to become more efficient, V-MO can make a big difference by keeping ship motors in top shape.

By getting support from ClassNK, Asahi Kasei’s V-MO is now ready to help more ships around the world sail safely and smoothly.
