ABB and the CMA CGM Group have collaborated on a new parametric roll algorithm to enhance ship safety, integrating CMA CGM’s theoretical framework with ABB’s Octopus Marine Advisory System. This algorithm aims to address the challenging and unpredictable nature of parametric roll, particularly affecting container ships and RO-Pax vessels, by reducing the risk of accidents, damage, and losses at sea.

Parametric roll has long been a safety concern for ships, leading to significant rolling movements in waves that pose threats to the crew, cargo, and overall operational efficiency. By utilizing preventive measures to avoid extreme parametric rolls, the new algorithm seeks to minimize the risks associated with freight loss incidents at sea, ultimately contributing to marine environmental protection and reducing repair costs.

As part of their commitment to safety, CMA CGM will implement the solution across their global fleet, offering training services not only for their personnel but also for the wider shipping industry. ABB’s scope includes the installation of the Octopus system on board, along with comprehensive engineering and commissioning services, emphasizing their dedication to enhancing vessel safety and operational efficiency.

Emmanuel Delran from CMA CGM Group and Tomas Arhaippainen from ABB Marine & Ports expressed their excitement about the partnership and the algorithm’s potential to improve security and sustainability in the maritime industry. By collaborating on innovative solutions like the parametric roll algorithm, these companies aim to drive advancements in ship safety and environmental protection while promoting industry-wide adoption of new technologies.
