DNV awards AiP to Jiangnan Shipyard for JNIS intelligent system

Jiangnan's JNIS system integrates diverse data, breaking down information silos for shipyards.

DNV has awarded Jiangnan Shipyard an Approval in Principle (AiP) for its Jiangnan Intelligent System JNIS (DATA) under the D-INF(S) class notation.

According to the Norway-based classification society, the JNIS (DATA) platform is designed to integrate data from diverse equipment manufacturers, break down information silos, and support a wide range of current and future digital applications.

As part of the D-INF AiP, DNV has worked with Jiangnan Shipyard to validate the standardised ship–shore data model, establish a unified and structured database, and advance Jiangnan’s digital foundation for intelligent ship construction.

The D-INF notation verifies that the data collection infrastructure systems can collect data from a range of different systems and supports input and output according to a standardized ISO 19847/19848 format to support cost-effective, scalable, reliable and secure data collection, storage, and exchange of data. The rules set out requirements for a data collection infrastructure to facilitate vessel-to-shore data exchange.

Jiangnan will continue testing the system and move toward installation on newbuilds to verify in-service performance and secure ship-to-shore data sharing. The architecture is designed to be expandable to cover additional services and uses, including remote inspection and data-driven verification.
