1.Challenges Aiming at Technological Development to Create New Value

Development and On-Board Demonstration of Marine Ammonia Engine
The world's first commercial ammonia-fueled ship enters service

  • IHI Power Systems Co., Ltd.

IHI Power Systems Co., Ltd. has developed an ammonia-fueled reciprocating engine that reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by over 90%. As a result, IHI Power Systems achieved the International Maritime Organization's GHG reduction target by 2040. Furthermore, the tugboat with the ammonia engine installed demonstrated the ability to operate safely and stably using ammonia as a fuel.


Unmanned Vehicle for Understanding and Protecting the Ocean
Deep-sea autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for unmanned deep-sea surveys

  • IHI Corporation

In recent years, deep-sea autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have attracted attention as a technology with great potential to reduce the manpower required for marine resource utilization. This article provides an overview of the deep-sea AUV designed and manufactured by IHI and used for the Japan Coast Guard's marine survey missions.

Enhancing Expressway Safety with 3D Laser Radar and AI
Detection and warning of wrong-way driving and mistaken entries at expressway entrances and exits

  • IHI Corporation

On expressways, wrong-way driving and the mistaken entries of pedestrians and cyclists pose major safety challenges. IHI has combined its accumulated sensing technologies with AI-based shape matching to develop a system that accurately detects and warns of wrong-way driving and mistaken entries.

Improving Work Efficiency and Productivity Using Line Simulation
Optimization of construction period and staffing through virtual site modeling for bridge deck slab replacement

  • IHI Corporation

Line simulation is a tool to estimate work progress, flow of goods, and people's movement on manufacturing lines, in logistics warehouses, and at on-site work. This tool contributes to a reduction in lead times and costs by evaluating the efficiency and productivity of the entire process. The application of line simulation to bridge deck slab replacement projects has established an environment that enables shorter quotation time and supports cost reduction through optimized construction planning.
