Introduction

We live in all sectors a period of continuous and radical changes, which profoundly change the way of functioning and the structure of the markets. In all cases, the driving force behind change is evolution and the technological revolution. Increased automation, pervasiveness of high-speed telecommunications, capillary diffusion of sensors, new fuels and new tractions, systems to support increasingly sophisticated strategic decisions, process digitalisation, artificial intelligence and distributed registers: these are the technological fields that shape transport maritime of the future.

Some innovations concerning shipbuilding, propulsion and energy and smart shipments are due to a logic of internal development of the sector in terms of improving operating performance through the progress of technology.

Years ago no one would discuss about autonomous ships, electronic certificates or customs-cleared container in electronic form with amazing speed (with surprising innovation adopted by Public Administration).

Other technological innovations often come from other sectors and, if applied to shipping, are able to guarantee superior financial and commercial performance and greater safety: advanced materials, sensors, communication technologies, big data analytics and the application of robotics and automation.

In that scenario, cyber security has necessarily become a protagonist, as shown by problems caused to a giant as Maersk which had a cyber attack to their computer system.

The session therefore means:

• To deepen the impact that these technologies will have, which contribute to making the sector increasingly more avant-garde and competitive;
• Presenting case history applications promoted by leading companies in the sector

Main Topics

• Maritime autonomous systems
• Applications of the Blockchain technology
• Big Data & Analytics applications
• Robotics and automation
• Communication systems
• Augmented reality
• Internet of Things
