Lim, the CEO of Avikus, stated, "The agreement with ABS holds a great significance as it promotes the technology standardization through the stage-by-stage certification of Avikus' proprietary technologies. With these commitments, we will contribute to expanding the autonomous vessel market and proactively preoccupy the related markets.”
"Autonomous vessels will have a significant role to play in the future of maritime transportation but they will need to be at least as safe as existing vessels. It will take extensive research and development activity, teamwork and sharing of expertise among the leading maritime players to get us there. That's why this agreement is a game changer, as it unites ABS' insight with HHI's expertise to develop practical applications of the technology," ABS Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, John McDonald, stated in an interview.
