Stena Line to implement artificial intelligence technology

Stena Line has partnered with Hitachi Europe to implement artificial intelligence technology (AI) to reduce fuel consumption costs, which will become an important tool in the company--s efforts to minimise environmental impact. The partnership will see a team of Hitachi experts from across its business units review the existing digital architecture in close collaboration with Stena Line, and advise the ferry company.

Hitachi Global Digital Holdings Corporation chief executive officer Hicham Abdessamad said --Digitalisation plays a key role in helping industries such as shipping optimise their operations for both financial performance and environmental impact. We are engaged with Stena Line on a number of strategic co-creation initiatives and we see this as an important next step in providing digital expertise to help them achieve positive business and societal outcomes.--
