AI and data set to transform maritime industry

While seafaring traditions persist, even the most conservative of mariners are being swept up by the digital tide.

From data-driven-efficiencies, which can optimise routes to minimise fuel usage and equipment downtime, to AI systems which will drive down crew sizes and automate more and more aspects of vessels – the pace of change is only accelerating.

Meanwhile, advanced systems, like MARSS' NiDAR platform and MOBtronic, will continue to improve ship security and personnel safety – potentially becoming the standard for all ships of the future.

As costs shrink and our seas get smarter, could these technological leaps herald a new era growth in global shipping?
