ClassNK grants first autonomous ship notation to container vessel Genbu
ClassNK awarded its AUTO-Nav2 (All) notation to the container ship Genbu, marking the world’s first certification of an autonomous navigation system for medium‑ to long‑distance routes. The vessel, built by Kyokuyo Shipyard and operated by Suzuyo Marine, is part of the Nippon Foundation’s MEGURI2040 fully autonomous program. The notation confirms the system meets ClassNK’s safety and performance standards.
