The CMA CGM Group has started a collaboration with Shone, a San Francisco-based startup specialised in the use of artificial intelligence for maritime transportation.

This collaboration enables Shone to access the CMA CGM Group vessels to finalise the development of artificial intelligence systems on board container ships. After placing data collection systems on board, Shone analyses the data obtained at the startup’s headquarters in San Francisco.

Preventing Collisions

As far as security and anti-collision alert systems are concerned, Shone fuses data from multiple sensors (radar, camera, AIS, etc.) in order to increase detection accuracy, thus preventing potential collisions, taking into account COLREGs.

Shone

Shone is a young startup based in San Francisco. Founded by three French engineers, Shone is working on the introduction of artificial intelligence, which is already present in cars, on board ships. Created in 2017, this startup aims to become the world reference in the field of artificial intelligence on board ships.
