Maritime Digitalisation Competition

 Summary of the Project:

The project, addresses critical issues in the maritime industry related to data collection, cost-saving, sustainability, and operational efficiency. The current data entry system for seafarers is burdensome and prone to errors, hindering the generation of reliable insights for stakeholders. Additionally, manual administrative processes and paper-based logbooks contribute to inefficiencies and environmental concerns.

To tackle these challenges, the team proposes a comprehensive solution leveraging digitalization and technology integration. The introduction of a digital logbook application for smart devices aims to streamline data entry processes, reduce administrative burdens, and enhance the quality of collecting data. Additionally, implementing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) onboard vessels enables seamless communication and integration of maritime data, empowering stakeholders with real-time insights and decision-making capabilities.

The adoption of Big Data analytics facilitates predictive analysis, cost-saving measures, and improved decision-making for operators, ship managers, and charters. Furthermore, the utilization of Fleet Operations Systems (FOS) ensures optimal route optimization, data synchronization between onboard and onshore parties, and enhanced operational consistency.

The project emphasizes the importance of technological innovation, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness in addressing industry challenges. By harnessing the power of digitalization, data analytics, and seamless communication technologies, the proposed solution aims to revolutionize maritime operations, drive efficiency, and pave the way for sustainable shipping practices.
