Reality check for digitalisation in shipping


Research published last year by Inmarsat on digital transfor‐ mation in shipping* indicated that, on average, ship operators and managers plan to spend $2.5 million on IoT‐based solutions within three years.

The study, which drew on a survey of 750 transport chain professionals including 125 ship owners, indicated that regulation is providing a strong prompt for adoption. In line with global fuel sulphur limits from 2020, the


IMO target to halve ship CO2 by 2050 and EU Monitoring, Reporting and Verification for fuel use, 65% of respondents said they already used IoT‐based solutions to monitor consumption. A further 9% said they would do so within a year, with deployment projected as reaching 100% by 2023.


Inmarsat’s study also indicated that maritime participants


expected average IoT‐driven cost savings of 14% over the next five years. However, the research also suggested that a greater maritime appetite for IoT‐based solutions would emerge if more data could be delivered and analysed in real‐time. Asked why their organisation was not able to make best use of data collected from IoT‐based solutions, 51% of maritime respondents overall blamed the time lag between collection and availability for use. This was 11% ahead of any other explanation.


One way to bridge the gap is to offer agreements for dedicated bandwidth that allow ship owners and managers to access vessel performance applications via a sensor agnostic platform in real time. Using this approach, the ship’s VDR or another recording device collects data from onboard sensors, pre‐processes that data and uploads it to a central cloud‐based database equipped with a dashboard and an Application Process Interface (API).


Solutions like this allow ship owners and managers to collect, transfer and analyse real‐time onboard data through application services offered by third parties – including equipment suppliers ‐ for vessel performance monitoring, analytics and optimisation. The secure platform itself is fully scalable for owners to use
