<\/strong> Cargo <\/strong>fires, meet<\/strong> AI: <\/strong>After the number of deadly fires aboard ships reached a decade-high peak in 2024 \u2014 driven by the growing number of flammable cargoes \u2014 the shipping industry could reportedly resort to artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce the toll, Financial Times<\/a> reports. The World Shipping Council (WSC) attributed this to shipping agents failing \u2014 whether deliberately or not \u2014 to declare hazardous items, which incur higher fees.<\/p>\n

Could AI be the solution? <\/strong>WSC unveiled a new AI-powered tool during London<\/a>International Shipping Week<\/a>, with shippers \u2014 representing 70% of global freight capacity \u2014 opting in. The technology is expected to scan up to mns of bookings in real time and identify risks by leveraging pattern recognition and algorithms.<\/p>\n

How big is the problem? <\/strong>Allianz\u2019 latest Safety and Shipping Review report (pdf)<\/a> found that 30% of vessel fires in 2025 involved container, cargo, or ro-ro vessels. \u201cFire remains a major risk for container ships and car carriers. While regulatory changes are in progress\u2026 [W]e cannot say this is a risk that is under control. This is still very much a live issue and one that will only get worse [with electrification] if action is not taken to address mis-declared cargo and fire detection and fighting capabilities on these vessels,\u201d Allianz Commercial\u2019s Global Head of Marine Risk Consulting Rahul Khanna said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
