INVESTIGATING THE POTENTIAL OF DATA ANALYTICS SOLUTIONS IN MARITIME INDUSTRY

Abstract

Recently, enhancing the data collection and utilization in maritime field is one of the key issue. At this stage, the maritime authorities seek for applicable solutions through improving the operational processes of key stakeholders such as ship operators, shipyards, offshore structures, ports & terminals, etc. This study reviews the existing data analytics solutions derived by research groups, classification societies, and technology providers. Considering the operational level integration requirements, the potential of the existing solutions in safety, efficiency, environmental sensitiveness and other performance indicators is determined. In conclusion, this study contributes to identification of the challenges and opportunities in order to extent data analytics applications to maritime field.
