Overview
- Avikus, which won DNV Type Approval Tuesday, says installations can proceed without extra verification.
- The approval is the first international certification for a mass‑produced autonomy support system usable across different ship types.
- Over more than three years, DNV verified performance in night and foul weather and checked collision avoidance against COLREGS.
- HiNAS Control has shipped as a standard on HD Hyundai vessels since 2023 with more than 500 cumulative orders.
- The new approval creates a template that could shape global standards as the IMO develops a code for autonomous surface ships.
