The shipping and port industry plays a crucial role as the backbone of global supply chains, facilitating over 80% of world trade by volume. As major players in international commerce, these sectors are essential for connecting producers, manufacturers, and consumers across continents. Their importance extends beyond mere transportation, as they significantly impact global economic growth, trade patterns, and geopolitical relationships. In the context of increasing digitalization and the push for decarbonization, the industry is evolving rapidly. Advanced technologies are enhancing operational efficiencies, reducing environmental impact, and optimizing supply chain management. This digital transformation is not only improving the industry’s performance but also contributing to broader sustainability goals, making shipping and ports more resilient and adaptive to future challenges in global trade.
The 10th ShipIT Conference focuses on three key sessions:
- IIoT, AI, ML and innovative maritime technologies to increase maritime performance
- Digitalisation: The fastest way to decarbonise
- Achieving digitalization and complying with Cyber Security & Safety
