easier for seafarers?
Digital innovation and developments play a crucial role in the
shipping industry. Digital innovation will significantly contribute
to key areas of ship management by increasing competitive-
ness and efficient ship management both onboard and ashore.
It is important not only for achieving zero pollution but also
for enhancing decarbonisation efforts. Moreover, it improves
the verification of elements and enhances the monitoring
and control of information through sensors generally used to
collect large volumes of real-time data.
Consequently, all this necessitates further education and re-
quires specialisation for various roles on vessels. In general,
digital innovation will contribute to developing and enhancing
the implementation of the ISM Code on ships, as it allows for
a more rapid and direct communication between the vessel
and the office. The faster collection and analysis of accurate
data will enable more flexible and effective decision-making.
As we integrate new technologies into our daily lives, we must
keep an eye on the future impacts of artificial intelligence
