OTHER TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

​

​Advanced Digital Technologies 

  • How do we make advanced digital technologies work - including if we need to highly reliable satellite bandwidth, senior staff to adapt to using them, acceptable technology cost, and systems which are easy to maintain and integrate?

 

Achieving Digital Maturity

  • How do we ensure our digital and satellite communications infrastructure is robust, easy to manage and understand, always available and reliable, and at acceptable cost?

 

Decarbonisation Digital Technologies

  • How do we continue the evolution of decarbonisation digital technology, to ensure that everybody has the situation awareness they need in every maritime role (from crew to commercial department), to support decision making?

 

Alternative fuel decision making

  • What digital tools which best support decision making around use of alternative fuels, including providing advise about fuel availability and cost trends, shipboard safety monitoring systems, crew competency management, managing and modelling data to understand if they provide a return, and sharing relevant data with customers?

 

Cybersecurity

  • How is best practise evolving in how we can best manage cybersecurity for ships and the office?

  • Can we protect ourselves better from organised criminals abroad, seeking to hack into e-mail accounts, encourage staff to make bank transfers into the wrong account, or access data?

  • What digital tools can best counter GPS jamming?
