Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has become the world's first shipyard to receive DNV's D-INF(S) type approval for the SVESSEL BIG data collection system.

DNV Group President & CEO Remi Eriksen presented the type approval certificate to Mr Jin Taek Jung, CEO of SHI, during the Nor-Shipping trade fair in Oslo.

SVESSEL BIG is set to become a crucial component of SHI's digitally enabled vessels. With D-INF(S) type approval, shipowners can be confident that the onboard critical data infrastructure is verified to meet international standards (ISO 19847/19848) for reliable, safe, and efficient information sharing.

We are proud to have DNV's support of SVESSEL BIG,' said Jin Taek Jung, CEO of SHI. 'Future vessels will be digitally enhanced and offer efficient data communication sharing and cybersecurity between ship and shore. By receiving the world's first D-INF(S) type approval, we can provide safer, more reliable shore and ship services to shipowners and lay the foundation for the evolution of more innovative solutions.'

As a trusted partner of SHI, DNV is honoured to have played a pivotal role in verifying their data collection system,' added Remi Eriksen. 'This partnership lays the groundwork for a safer, more connected future as we together continue to shape and lead the maritime industry's digitalization journey.'
