Gas carrier owner Petredec has installed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based collision avoidance system on its fleet.

The move is being supported by North P&I Club — its protection and indemnity insurer — and it is being claimed that the project could “revolutionise marine insurance pricing and claims”.

Petredec said the Orca AI system has been installed on the 21,000-cbm Earth Summit (built 2017), 84,000-cbm Silvio (built 2016) and 22,000-cbm Dancing Brave (built 2016).
