Fujitsu has now built a platform with ClassNK that collects and accumulates machinery operational data from moving vessels, such as engine data, as well as marine weather information, as big data.

This enables maritime businesses such as ship operators and shipyards to extract data about vessels under navigation, as needed. This will enable, for example, operations personnel to predict malfunctions using engine operations data, or to achieve more energy-efficient operations using voyage data and marine weather data.

This maritime big data platform, the first shared platform in the maritime industry, will be operated as a data center service by Ship Data Center Co., Ltd. (below, Ship Data Center), a subsidiary of ClassNK established in December 2015.

Fujitsu will support the further effective use of ship data by expanding the functionality of this maritime big data platform, contributing to the further development of the maritime industry.
