HiCASS will also help identify hazards based on the type of vessel, weather conditions, waves and wind, according to the company.

HHI has equipped the system with a notification technology to signal collision risk levels and dangerous things on the sea.

When linked with other voyage systems, including automatic radar plotting aid, automatic identification system and electronic chart system, HiCASS can analyse locations of the obstacles in compliance with the international regulations for preventing collisions at sea.

“HHI has equipped the system with a notification technology to signal collision risk levels and dangerous things on the sea.”

HHi tested the performance of its anti-collision system recently on a 13,800 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) containership and a 162,000m³ LNG carrier.

The company operates its businesses through seven divisions, shipbuilding, offshore and engineering, industrial plant and engineering, engine and machinery, electro and electric systems, construction equipment, and green energy.
