Tymor Marine secures Scottish Enterprise funding for next generation vessel stability system.

Aberdeen-based marine and naval architectural consultancy, Tymor, is preparing for a new wave of autonomous and remote-controlled shipping by embedding artificial intelligence into its'Measurement of Stability in Service' system (MOSIS). The MOSIS system measures a vessel's vertical centre of gravity to provide vital feedback on vessel stability in variable conditions. Now Tymor has embarked on a three-phase programme over three years to enhance the system to meet the future needs of industry. The first phase is aimed at integrating MOSIS with other ship instrumentation and sensors, followed by a second phase to deliver stability information in real time, and finally an artificial intelligence application with be embedded to support autonomous shipping. Scottish Enterprise is supporting the project through their Innovation Grant programme and has committed part funding against the £100,000 cost of the first phase of system development, which includes an enhanced user interface and updated coding.
