HD Hyundai Avikus to Supply Autonomous Navigation Solutions to Seven Hyundai Glovis Car Carriers

[Financial News] Avikus, a subsidiary of HD Hyundai, has decided to supply autonomous navigation solutions to seven Hyundai Glovis car carriers (PCTC). This is an expansion of Avikus' commercial success stories.
According to the industry on the 11th, Avikus signed a contract to supply the autonomous navigation solution 'HiNAS Control' to seven Hyundai Glovis car carriers, attended by Avikus CEO Im Dohyeong and Hyundai Glovis Executive Director Kim Jeongseok. The goal is to complete it by the first half of 2026, including hardware, software, trial runs, and crew training.
This contract is the first case of applying an autonomous navigation system to a PCTC fleet. It is significant in that the commercialization of technology in specific ship types has practically begun. HiNAS Control is an autonomous navigation system that integrates and analyzes data collected from onboard navigation equipment and sensors with artificial intelligence (AI) to suggest optimal routes, automating collision avoidance, speed control, and more.
Hyundai Glovis has been conducting trial operations since last year ahead of the introduction of autonomous navigation. The company explained that a fuel-saving effect of up to 3.9% has been proven. Through autonomous navigation, it has become possible to achieve carbon neutrality goals and reduce fuel costs simultaneously. The accuracy of navigation plans and collision prevention functions also showed effectiveness.
Im Dohyeong, CEO of Avikus, stated, "This contract demonstrates Avikus' momentum while showing that AI-based autonomous navigation is becoming a core element in modern shipping."
Kim Jeongseok, Executive Director of Hyundai Glovis, said, "The introduction of AI is the core of Hyundai Glovis' vision of meeting environmental standards and advocating a smart global logistics network," adding, "We will contribute to reducing carbon emissions in vehicle logistics by improving performance to enhance safety and efficiency."
