PEOPLE TECH MARITIME ATHENS REPORT
DECARBONISATION
Companies can often find ways to make big savings on emissions from gathering and analysing data - you should look for well structured software and give support to your experts, we learned in our Athens forum
Much of the challenge of decarbonisation could be described as co-ordination, between activities, data and tasks - digital tools could provide much more help with this. Dimitris Lyras explained
Data about fuel consumption, engine and generator load, and navigation can be all you need to understand if the ship is operating efficiently. You may see ways to improve performance 10-25%, said Omur Karatas
Software customisations and data sharing - while current vessel performance software tools can be very effective, shipping companies may not feel software gives them exactly what they want, so ask for customisations
DIGITALISATION

Thenamaris’ experience implementing vessel data collection software - software “ThenaForms” to collect data about vessel operations and reduce the administrative burden. Maria Kartalou explained
Getting data out of e-mail, and better digital integration - it would be useful if we could have better ways to extract and use e-mail data, and have our digital tools better integrated, said Dimitris Lyras
Shipowners now want agnostic platforms says Danelec - tools which integrate easily with others, and which they are not tied to. Danelec is developing vessel performance tools accordingly
How to use AI to generate customised training materials - with the SMS or existing videos as a starting point. Konstantinos Agas demonstrated what is possible
How to future proof digital technology - we need to make it easier to maintain, easier to speak to AI systems, and more interoperable. Achilleas Mantzios of Dynacom shared ideas
How to reduce crew travel costs 17% - most seafarer tickets can be rebooked free. Exmar is taking advantage of this, together with advanced software, to save 17% on crew travel costs
​
A good relationship between operations and IT staff - makes the organisation function much more effectively. Nicolas Timpelis, IT projects support manager with IONIC explained how to get there
How can we align shipping companies and technology investors - when investors look for a straightforward software product with clear benefits and easy implementation. But the technology needs of shipping companies are very complex
Lloyd’s Register's Digital Maturity Index - shipping companies can use to assess their digital transformation efforts. Are you foundational, emerging, mature or visionary? Eleanna Apostolidi explained
Maritime's biggest cybersecurity challenges today - seemingly pointless requirements, managing crew internet, and AI. Speakers from Hellas Confidence Shipmanagement and Threatscene discussed
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTS
Cybersecurity risks, compliance and insurance - a panel organised by consultancy Dryad Global discussed current risks, the challenges of regulatory compliance, and what you can get insured for
Multi-orbit networks and cybersecurity - if you use more than one satcom network at once to your fleet, you have a back-up if one of them is hacked. iDirect explains what this means
Supporting seafarers with voice analytics - generate insights which can be used to support decision making and increase safety. SignalFusion explained how it can work
​
DIGITAL SHIP OSLO REPORT
How Odfjell is improving data architecture, governance and business integration - Alena Pedersen, Vice President for Corporate IT and Digitalisation, explained
Westfal Larsen's Are Andersen - on how much of the maritime industry’s digital developments are driven by regulation, the company’s plans for software, connectivity, navigation and vessel performance sensors
Torvald Klaveness’ AI strategy – A key question is knowing whether to build, buy, support start-ups, or walk away from projects. Tore Lybekk, head of IT at Torvald Klaveness advocates a “curious but cautious” approach
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
Danelec and the GTT acquisition - valuing the company at Eur 194m. We spoke to Danelec about its focus on high frequency data for vessel performance, its data platform and its approach to digital integration
Cybersecurity at Marlink - its new dedicated cybersecurity company with 150 experts. Maritime president Tore Morten Olsen explained, and also discussed its partnership with Starlink
How StormGeo is moving to “voyage intelligence” - the service evolved from providing the best route to also encompassing emissions, fuel availability, port congestion, regulatory requirements and more
How V.Group’s “ShipSure” software supports operations - predicting how well a ship will perform in inspections, and identify problems with certification, and more. [Former] CIO Stephen MacFarlane explained
Improving identity management for cybersecurity - ensuring only the right people have access to your network and devices. A DNV webinar reviewed the issues
DECARBONISATION TECHNOLOGY
Norway’s Green Shipping Program developments - projects to decarbonise the defence sector, use ships as power stations, supply ammonia in Stavanger and hydrogen in Bodø, use liquid organic hydrogen carriers, and explore nuclear
Improving OSV performance with an “efficiency loop” - Opsealog's process to help operators of Offshore Supply Vessels (OSV) improve fuel consumption / emissions and utilisation
Considering emissions as part of ship design - including with data from existing vessels, making digital twins, and considering future alternative fuels. Deltamarin explained
Alfa Laval’s new ballast management system PureBallast 3 Ultra - designed to be easier to install, easier to operate, better at dealing with sediment rich water, and more energy efficient
