MOL selects Captain's Eye for 10 LNG-fueled car carriers
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines selected the Captain's Eye AI camera system for the cargo holds of ten LNG-fueled newbuilding car carriers scheduled to enter service from 2024.
Evidence notes
- The selection followed repeated demonstration tests aboard the car carrier Onyx Ace, where the system detected small amounts of smoke.
- Captain's Eye uses AI-equipped cameras to detect anomalies and alert both onboard crew and onshore ship-management personnel.
- MOL said the system could identify smoke faster than conventional smoke-detection equipment in the cargo hold.
Company context
Captain's Eye develops AI video analytics for detecting safety, security and operational incidents on ships. The system connects to existing cameras and identifies events such as smoke, unsafe behaviour, equipment anomalies and people in restricted areas, alerting crews and shore teams in real time. The Haifa company serves commercial shipping, cruise and maritime operators seeking continuous visual monitoring without adding manual watchkeeping.
