HMM to deploy AI onboard to boost safety

HMM, South Korea’s flagship line, is installing Deep Eyes, an artificial intelligence video analysis solution on one of its biggest ships as a pilot with a view to further installations. 

Deep Eyes is a safety monitoring system that automatically recognises and warns crewmembers of abnormal situations such as fire, smoke, workers not wearing safety equipment, or falls.

An HMM official said, “We plan to actively use it to identify worker behaviour patterns and standardise work safety through video analysis in the future.”

Deep Eyes was created by professors at Chung-Ang University in Seoul.
