Shipowners, operators, and managers are increasingly acknowledging the significance of data in the maritime industry, moving from considering it a luxury to recognizing it as a crucial catalyst for industry transformation, reports Rivera.
Proactive Data Utilization
Data is shifting from being collected passively to being actively utilized to inform business decisions and strategies, driving both digital transformation and decarbonization efforts within the industry.
Example from Silverstream Technologies
Silverstream Technologies is leading the charge by evolving how data is utilized within its business, particularly in advancing maritime clean technology. Through data analytics, they’ve determined the efficiency and carbon emission reduction benefits of their air lubrication system.
Integration and Insights
Integrating clean technologies like air lubrication systems provides valuable insights into a vessel’s hydrodynamic performance, optimizing overall operations by leveraging data from multiple sensors onboard.
Unlocking Efficiencies
Deep integration of clean technologies allows for the identification and unlocking of efficiencies that were previously overlooked, leading to active and intelligent solutions that maximize a ship’s performance.
Potential for Future Development
Data-driven clean technology manufacturers have the potential to raise both the floor and ceiling of fuel-saving potential by utilizing data to optimize performance and respond to environmental factors in real time.
Shifts in Perception
To fully embrace the potential of data-driven clean technologies, the industry must undergo two shifts in perception: trusting digital systems and artificial intelligence for tactical decision-making and reevaluating the potential of clean technology beyond fulfilling current requirements.
Embracing the Digital Revolution
The maritime industry must be prepared to embrace the digital revolution enabled by data and digitalization, understanding that adding a digital layer to physical systems will solidify their position as long-term drivers of operational change.
