In our last episode, we looked at how shipping - one of the world’s oldest industries - has evolved, with digital technology driving much of that change.
Safety, efficiency, and sustainability remain the big drivers. Today’s ships benefit from smarter logistics, predictive maintenance, and real-time tracking.
But taking digitalization further in such a complex sector isn’t easy. New and existing technologies must integrate seamlessly to keep operations safe, resilient, and reliable.
Add to that the challenges of cybersecurity, secure ship-to-shore data, and preparing the workforce for a digital future - and the task becomes even tougher.
That’s exactly what we’re diving into in this episode: how to take digitalization to the next level in the maritime industry. In this episode, host Fran Scott will be joined by:
- Mikkel Skou Managing Director of Veracity by DNV
- Osku Kälkäjä, Digital Division Lead, ABB’s Marine & Ports division
- Leigh Carr, Vice President, Maritime Cyber Safety of Carnival Corporation and PLC
