Session 1

The iShipping Revolution

Transforming the maritime supply chain in the digital era

Increasingly sophisticated technologies, including IoT, blockchain autonomy, AI and VR, and analytics all promise a faster, safer and more connected transport ecosystem, with better and more efficient business outcomes.

But these great opportunities mean greater complexities too, so which are the right tools to use in this industrial revolution?

What can a digital strategy do for the maritime business – both for shipping lines and ship builders – as well as the end users - and how can you build a business case for digital investment? And how can we promote better collaboration across the sector, to ensure that all stakeholders are involved in the decisions, long term strategy and the results.

This session will break down some of these questions and will look at the benefits as well as the pitfalls to watch out for? We will look at the business case surrounding these strategies and review the tools needed to implement, incorporate, and change mindsets in response to digitalisation.

Session 2

The Maritime Satcom Summit

Investigating the evolution of maritime connectivity

The ever-growing use of on-board applications and increased data flows in shipping means that reliable data communications and platforms are even more critical.

This opening session of the day will look at how evolution in connectivity is changing the maritime and transport landscape by improving operational agility, enhancing efficiency, creating a safer, more secure environment and enabling greater efficiency.

Session 3

Planning for Cyber Resilience and Managing Risk
