The Challenge
The shipping industry is governed by regulations set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and other authorities designed to ensure a safe working environment for crew, operational efficiency and protection of the environment. Violations of these regulations put lives at risk and cause damage to the asset and the environment, as well as incur heavy fines.
This challenge, set in conjunction with international ship operator Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), a maritime solutions company, sought innovative video analytics applications to detect and alert for unsafe actions onboard commercial ships.
