ABB, CMA CGM partner to develop parametric roll algorithm
It minimises risks for cargo damage and loss at sea.
ABB and CMA CGM are working on a parametric roll algorithm to improve vessel safety by integrating it into the ABB Ability™ OCTOPUS Marine Advisory system.
The algorithm aims to detect and prevent parametric rolling, a dangerous phenomenon that causes extreme vessel motions in waves, particularly affecting container ships, ro-pax vessels, and car carriers. It also helps protect the marine environment by minimising pollution from lost cargo.
Integrated into the OCTOPUS system, the solution also provides real-time monitoring and response, improving voyage efficiency and reducing downtime caused by adverse weather conditions.
CMA CGM will deploy the solution across its fleet and provide training for the wider shipping industry. ABB will handle installation, engineering, and project management.
ABB and CMA CGM already have 200 vessels equipped with OCTOPUS, and this initiative strengthens their partnership while setting a new industry standard for safety.
