AI can help reduce shipping emissions

THE global commercial shipping industry could cut down its carbon emissions by 47 million tons per year by deploying artificial intelligence (AI) for sea navigation, a study by autonomous shipping startup Orca AI showed on Tuesday.

The use of the technology could reduce the need for maneuvers and route deviation from close encounters with high-risk marine targets such as vessels, buoys and sea mammals by alerting the crew in real time, according to the report.
