10 ships of Maersk Line will be equipped with real-time GPS systems and satellite communications

Maersk's participation in the project is a “smart ocean” initiative initiated by the International Oceanic Administration, which bridges the technology industry and the marine industry and helps ocean-going vessels and platforms collect data. The tsunami sonar system can accurately and quickly detect and assess the tsunami.

It is understood that Maersk Line and Matson Navigation will equip 10 ships with real-time GPS systems and satellite communications, which can transmit data collected by tsunami sonar to the shore-based data center for data analysis and processing.
