Classification society ABS has hosted its Innovation Summit focusing on digitalization, artificial intelligence and robotics for shipping and offshore industries. The event showcased how connected assets and intelligent systems are reshaping vessel design, construction, operations and maintenance, and marked the launch of ABS PLATO, an AI-driven tool for navigating class rules.
ABS held its Innovation Summit highlighting how digitalization, AI and robotics are transforming vessel and offshore asset design, construction, operations and maintenance. Panels on digitalization and AI discussed the role of connected assets and intelligent systems, with shipowners and shipbuilders presenting real-world deployments at fleet scale rather than small pilots. During the event, ABS introduced ABS PLATO, an AI chat tool that helps users quickly search and interpret ABS Class Rules and statutory requirements using natural language queries, positioning AI not only as an operational technology but also as a compliance enabler.
