| Abstract |
Developments in ICT will have a profound effect on the shipping industry, providing new ways to analyze ship functions to significantly improve efficiency and safety performance. Similarly, advances in automation will shape the ways ships are designed, built, and operated. Sensor technologies and monitoring systems, combined with seamless ship-shore connectivity and software-enabled decision support tools, will create a more data-centric, responsive and flexible industry that is fully integrated with global transportation networks. This paper describes briefly the state of the art on ship automation and remote operations and presents a possible future scenario for shipping where onshore control centers will be responsible for the management of the ship. Main drivers, barriers and business opportunities are investigated alongside with the possible changes these developments may impose on the current business models of the main stakeholders involved in ship design and operation. |
