AI-based Collision Avoidance System To Evade Vessel Collisions

  • The oceans consist of 71% of the earth’s surface, so one would think they would be big enough to enable ships to avoid each other.
  • Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Not a week goes by, seemingly, when there’s not news of collisions or near-collisions between ships.
  • Fishing vessels and cruise ships, cargo vessels and docks, even advanced military vessels – all of them are potential players in a collision scenario.

Ship collisions are still a major problem: can AI help?, writes Baihbav Mishra...

Real Life Incident: Ships Wedged Together After Collision

Real Life Incident Ships Wedged Together After Collision

A Ro-Ro vessel was underway at 19kt in good visibility with a single OOW on the bridge. The radar had auto-acquired a target ahead and, with three nautical miles to go, a collision risk alarm was indicated on the screen. No audible alarm sounded, because these had been muted on the radar.

The OOW did not notice this alarm and was now busy plotting the position on the chart and completing the logbook at the chart table, behind curtains.

About nine minutes after the alarm appeared on the radar...

Case Study: Vessel Drags Anchor Causing Multiple Collisions

A vessel was in ballast and at the anchorage at night, awaiting better weather before taking fuel and continuing the voyage.
