Whether we will ever experience fully autonomous ships was one of the key issues discussed at an insightful webinar we held this week in conjunction with Oceanly, leading provider of fleet performance solutions.
In the discussion, entitled ‘Smart Ships, Smarter Operations: The Digital Evolution of Maritime Technology’, the panel of industry experts debated the drive to digitalise the industry, exploring the impact of Artificial Intelligence and how as ships and shipping operations get smarter what this will mean for the way they are operated and regulated.
The webinar, moderated by SMI Publisher Sean Moloney, also included a deep dive into issues such as the need for standardisation in the industry, decarbonisation, the reluctance to share data and the importance of cybersecurity as technologies advance.
The esteemed panellists were: Giampiero Soncini, Managing Director, Oceanly; Feng-Yi (Sarah) Lee, Team Lead Industrial & OT Cyber Security – Maritime, DNV; Ørnulf Jan Rødseth, Expert in autonomous ships and maritime digitalisation; and Hideyuki Ando, Director of MTI, NYK Line (NYK Group).
