People Tech Maritime Bergen
Oct 22, 2026, Scandic Hotel

We are starting plans for People Technology Maritime Bergen October 22 2026, to be held at Scandic Hotel, central Bergen.​

​

Session - developing maritime LLM competency:

- is there are gap between what LLMs are able to achieve from shipping and what we are currently doing with them - and if so how do we cross it?

- what should shipping company IT managers and other maritime professionals know about LLMs, to achieve competency levels of awareness, tool selection, integration and leadership?

- what is working so far with maritime LLMs? - where might the industry ultimately get to in its use of LLMs?

​​

Session - improving vessel performance data quality and use 

- Are there easier ways shipping companies can get robust data about ship performance, which can be used as a basis for decision making, without over-burdening the crew?

- data collection techniques, sensor data triangulation techniques, data analytics techniques - what are the bottlenecks

- improving crew engagement through providing better data about their vessel's performance

- Stories about how improved vessel performance data gathering led to improved results

​

Session - improving shipboard software quality and communications

- What factors would help get better quality software installed on shipboard computers?

- Can we move to an era where vessels access cloud software, including LLMs? 

- Can we improve satellite connectivity robustness to make this more possible?

- Is there a possible future with vessels using 'virtual machines' all managed remotely?

​​

Session - better ways to maintain cybersecurity

- How is the cybersecurity risk to shipping evolving?

- Are there better ways to identify and manage risks?

- Should more use be made of automated cybersecurity tools?
