A smartship partnership between Laskaridis Shipping, METIS Cyberspace Technology and Bureau Veritas has developed new notations reflecting the latest advances in digitalisation, and in particular the use of augmented data to optimise the efficiency of shipping operations and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The project led to BV delivering an Approval in Principle to METIS Cyberspace for its METIS Ship Connect System, an automated data acquisition platform for the monitoring of vessel operations and subsystems. Two new classification notations were awarded to the bulk carrier LETO, which is equipped with METIS Ship Connect, making it the first vessel to be awarded the DATAINFRA notation.
