Lloyd's Register Expands Maritime AI Readiness Index

Lloyd's Register has expanded its Digital Maturity Index to assess AI readiness across the maritime industry, according to Riviera Maritime Media. The benchmarking tool helps shipowners, operators and managers evaluate their governance, workforce training, organisational culture, data readiness and performance measurement.

The index also assesses AI use in crew management, trade execution, vessel technical management and commercial functions. Companies can use the results to identify gaps in the people, processes and data infrastructure needed to support AI use.

Lloyd's Register added use cases for the gas carrier sector, including boil off gas management, sloshing risk management, LNG cargo ageing prediction, rollover prevention, pump tripping mitigation, tank maintenance optimisation and brittle fracture monitoring.
