Orient Overseas (OOCL) has partnered with Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) to apply deep learning research to shipping network operations. The partnership will enable MSRA researchers and engineers to work on the development of a new type of intelligent ship management system that can be used in both commercial and military applications. AI is key to the digital transformation vision of OOCL, which already has 1,000 developers working on its behalf. “MSRA is devoted to seeking broad and deep engagement opportunities with academic communities and vertical industries, in order to promote collaboration, cultivate innovation, advance education, and turn ideas into reality,” said Dr. Hsiao-Wuen Hon, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft, Chairman of Microsoft’s Asia-Pacific R&D Group, and Managing Director of Microsoft Research Asia. Additionally, the Hong Kong-based carrier has fully embraced a hybrid cloud infrastructure with auto-switching and auto-scaling in its business practices, and employs predictive analytics on shipping schedules and berth activities.
