Digital Ship’s role is to align maritime digital technologies with shipping companies. There are many technologies and related services being developed. Every shipping company has different needs. Technology companies need customers who benefit from their offerings, and shipping companies need technologies which fit their needs. Digital Ship brings both together.
Join our series of conferences in 2024 in Oslo, Athens, Hamburg, and Bergen.

DIGITAL SHIP BERGEN
20th November 2024
Grieghallen Bergen
In Bergen in November, we will review how the maritime industry is evolving its use of digital technology to achieve its business goals, including decarbonisation, improving quality of life for seafarers, maintaining safety, and using autonomous technology to reduce the need for shipboard personnel.
We help propel the introduction and development of technology in the shipping industry.
The main digital technology related challenges in shipping are not changing much over the years – data and voice communications, cybersecurity, digitalization, navigation.
But the specific challenges are evolving – we are seeing a growing emphasis on digital technology for managing vessel performance, people looking at cybersecurity from multiple angles, companies developing all kinds of new digital technologies including analytics and AI, and increasing discussion about autonomous navigation.
For seafarers, fast and inexpensive communication services are expected, and seen as essential by shipping companies in attracting and retaining crew. Working out how to deliver this, is another challenge for the IT department.
Shipping companies are rightly sceptical about many advanced technologies, including analytics / data science, AI and autonomy. But they should not let their scepticism blind them to the possibilities. Digital Ship takes care to present advanced technologies in a way which shows your customers what they can do, without over promising.
Our live events are your opportunity to engage directly with shipping company IT managers and other maritime professionals involved in purchasing digital technology.
