ClassNK has expanded its digital service offerings through the introduction of new AI-driven maritime tools.

Initially, the organization granted an Innovation Endorsement to eDOT Solutions for eVa COLREGS, an AI-powered training platform. This technology uses 3D maritime simulation and an AI engine to help seafarers improve proficiency in the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea.

Subsequently, ClassNK launched ‘Survey Compass,’ an AI assistant designed to assist shipowners and management companies with classification survey operations. The tool uses a retrieval-based approach to provide natural language answers and summaries linked to original source documents, such as the Rules for the Survey and Construction of Steel Ships. This launch is part of a broader strategy to develop a digital service platform for ships in service.
