Samsung Heavy Industries announced that it has officially opened its advanced Samsung Remote Operation Center (SROC), delivered to Taiwanese container shipping company EVERGREEN. This milestone highlights the deep and longstanding partnership between the two companies, which have worked together for many years to drive innovation in smart ship technologies.
The newly launched Samsung Remote Operation Center enables real-time monitoring of vessel data, enhancing maritime safety and operational integrity. It also provides shore-based maintenance support, allowing for efficient inspections, immediate troubleshooting, and rapid repair processes. These capabilities help reduce downtime and improve overall fleet reliability. Importantly, the center represents a significant step toward the future of autonomous shipping, as it integrates and validates technologies essential for remote support and operation of next-generation vessels.
Looking ahead, Samsung Heavy Industries plans to further strengthen its collaboration with EVERGREEN by shifting more traditionally onboard tasks to shore-based environments. This initiative is expected to improve inspection efficiency, ensure seamless operational continuity, and support the long-term advancement of autonomous ship technologies.
