A
s the shipping industry gears up for more digital
refinements in their operations, one innovation
that will work to its advantage is the Digital Ship
Notation (DNS) system, which has been launched
by classification, certification, inspection, testing
and consulting multinational firm RINA.
GNV is the first company to receive the new
notation, certifying 11 ships of its fleet, all
equipped with a data collection system: the
synergy with RINA, launched in 2012, has led to
the development of the Digital Ship project on board of the GNV vessels,
thanks to which an important path of fleet performance management has
been launched.
Stressed RINA’s EVP Marine Strategic Development Paolo Moretti:
“Digitalization is set to change the marine industry driving new levels
of operational understanding while optimizing systems. As a class
society, we recognize that the digital journey has only just begun but it

is our firm intention to lead the shipping industry in the development
and application of this technology to drive down costs and increase
operational efficiency.”
RINA strongly believes that digitalisation will have a major impact
within the shipping industry and that this type of notation could
be included, in the future, as a requirement for the classification of
newbuilds. This class notation marks the first step towards a new type of
relationship between ship owners and class societies, working together
towards an efficient, safe and sustainable shipping industry through the
best use of data.
RINA started the digital transformational journey when the company
invested in the development of its own RINACube platform, launched in
December 2017. The cloud-based platform is user-friendly and can gather
and integrate data and digital assets from various sources. It is simple to
implement inside a company’s existing digital ecosystem and interacts
seamlessly with most common technologies on board.
Thanks to RINA’s Digital Ship Notation, owners will be able to have
objective evidence of their effort to continuously monitor the ship and
will have access the cost-saving opportunities given by the optimization
of processes allowed by data analysis.
