Setting the trends in maritime digital transformation
Tuesday 28.09.2021 | Live Online & Interactive
Organized by 
Personnel from Maritime Companies are free of charge
Digitalization is already changing the operations and strategies of maritime companies allowing the maritime industry to make better-informed decisions more quickly, creating more efficient and responsive organization. The pandemic has fuelled maritime’s digitalisation acceleration, with a plethora of technologies driving this revolution (ex Big Data, IIoT, AI, M.L, IPA, Blockchain), and a multitude of different ways to interpret their implementation and effectiveness.
Ships are increasingly being fitted with advanced sensors to monitor fuel consumption and energy efficiency, providing real-time data that can be integrated into an overall fleet management system for continuous learning and optimization of operations.
Ports around the world are now increasingly taking advantage of new technology as better connected ports have an advantage as we approach the second digital revolution

Maritime stakeholders believes there is massive untapped potential for the shipping industry to improve its efficiency through harnessing data flows from operations that can have a positive impact on commercial, environmental and safety performance.
A wide range of decision support systems to optimize shipping operations, information systems for logistic support of ports and tools for policymakers are the legacy of modern digitalization of shipping. AI-driven performance models are a critical tool to understand both how vessels are performing, and how to improve them. The transparency unlocked by the insights that A.I extracts could also create new opportunities to rethink fundamental relationships in the shipping industry, including those between ship and shore.
While this connectivity is a benefit which outweighs the risks, it is only when the risks are seen with clear insight and understanding. Consequently cyber safety is an ongoing technological and human process across all of society and not a certificate.
Since shipping and ports go hand-in-hand as disruption to one creates a ripple effect for the other, the 7th ShipIT Conference 2021 will underpin and cover in breadth and depth all the relevant aspects of maritime digital transformation aiming and trigger to:
- increase competitiveness
- enhance operational efficiency
- improve safety
- cyber safety
- quest for zero-emission
The Scope of the Conference
ShipIT Conference 2021 is a one-day strategic event addressed to the maritime, shipping, ocean freight and port industry, analyzing the impact of the digitalization on the Maritime’s operations and business performance.
The conference is creating a unique knowledge exchange and networking platform for the maritime and port industry, where senior business and OT and IT executives meet, discuss and evaluate how critical to the Shipping Companies as well as to Port Operations a Robust Digital Strategy is.
In an industry increasingly reliant on automation and remote monitoring, the need for robust cyber risk management of critical systems and assets on ships as well as on ports has never been more acute.
The pandemic has inadvertently accelerated technology adoption in shipping and companies, not already in the cloud, took the opportunity to invest in cloud-based solutions. This has automated many operational tasks and made it easier for the ship managers and crew to work together.
As the world moves beyond the pandemic increasingly shipping companies will be turning to technology to address operational challenges. This digital transformation will have a powerful effect on how they operate now and in future, bringing them in line with industries that have been benefiting from technology for decades

Key Issues
Moving into the cloud has enabled crews on board and on shore to collaborate on tasks from inspections to crew management, purchasing and inventory to compliance, maintenance, and technical tasks. The real advantage is that staff can access information and data anytime, anywhere, including on a smartphone. Nowadays cloud technology has been the game changer
The cloud has facilitated the sharing of business-critical information such as important maritime instructions, crew schedules, payroll data and other key communications by teams onshore with the crews and it can be actioned immediately, ensuring the company is responsive and dynamic and can react to any situation.
Ports around the world are now increasingly taking advantage of new technology as digitalisation of ports will allow them to operate more autonomously and efficiently. 5G will be the catalyst for such innovation, but the current priorities of mobile operators do not readily lend themselves to providing coverage at ports
Business Intelligence has become more relevant in recent years since it enables companies to conduct enhanced analysis of any kind using existing data and match this against various KPIs. At the same time give to the customers enhanced insights into their operational data and drive a data culture across the organisation to improve business decision making.
Nowadays one thing is certain within the maritime industry, smart shipping has arrived, IIoT solutions and cybersecurity protection will become focal services in the next 2-3 years and providers have transformed its business model to a SaaS.
Consequently, the 7th ShipIT Conference focuses on three key sessions:
- AI and M.L for maritime industry to increase productivity & performance and shape a greener future
- Innovative maritime technologies that supports the achievement of specific goals
- Achieving digitalisation and complying with cyber security
Speakers will analyze and evaluate:
- best practices & examples of how maritime managers can leverage real-time data for operational decision making
- the steps that can be taken to strike digital balance as it upgrades business models
- the importance of the maritime digitalization journey, both on the operations as well as on the business side
- what ship and port owners and managers should know about cyber safety
- how fleet owners and operators can benefit from a unified view of operations
Topics included
With this framework at the ShipIT Conference 2021, we will seek to highlight and discuss about:
- Maritime Digital Transformation & Technological Developments
- Digitalization by IIoT solutions & Automation for Vessel Optimisation
- Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning in Maritime Industry
- Data Driven Decision Management & Business Intelligence
- Cyber Safety & Cyber Resilience
- Blockchain as the next big revolution in shipping
- Classification in the digital age
What will you learn?
At the ShipIT Conference, participants and delegates will:
Meet, the disruptors in the maritime digitalization and the visionaries looking to transform shipping
Learn, how the ideas of maritime digitalization are being received by the ship, ocean freight and port owning community
Pinpoint, where the latest maritime ICT , OT as well as Cyber Safety issues join with the business performance in the maritime industry
What is there for you?
As digitalization is becoming an integral part of the whole maritime industry, more and more operators can benefit from its use and there are interesting new technologies that aspire to move maritime forward. On the other side, there are numerous risks that need to be identified, understood, and mitigated to make sure that technologies are safely integrated into the shipping and port operations and strategic design.
7th ShipIT Conference on September 28th will focus on where the maritime industry has got to with digital technology and where it needs to go. In this era, the ShipIT Conference 2021 will provide shipping executives, port & ocean freight operators and maritime authority attendees with the tools and know-hows of how to:
- Leverage digital and disruptive technologies to answer to the new needs of the maritime industry
- Present and assess the importance of ICT and OT in creating best practices, innovative approaches, unique business models and tools to harness maritime business opportunities
