Dolgo, a new maritime tech start-up spun out of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Enterprise Accelerator, has announced the development of a new AI software platform that aims to transform shipyard skills training.
Florida based Dolgo says the software will retain expertise presently being lost as large numbers of workers retire from the sector. Dolgo is presently undertaking trials of the prototype Large Language Model (LLM) with the University of South Florida College of Marine Science. The LLM enables workers to share knowledge, allowing companies to scale up skills for both new and existing roles.
Dolgo founder Nithesh Wazenn said the software will enable shipyards to create a private LLM platform that continuously updates with proprietary knowledge from their workforce. Workers will be able to call each other on the platform to seek advice on engineering problems, with the AI learning on the job.
The software is being launched to support skill retention in the global shipyard sector. In the US alone the average age of the 146,500 strong US shipyard workforce is 55. The aging workforce challenge is compounded by rising shipyard demand which is expected to more than double in the US
