But Thomas Hechmann, Growth Director, Coach Solu- • Ability to change light pitch without tools tions, says the major change related to voyage optimization • 2-point half moon yoke mount and matching in connection with the implementation of CII has nothing to slipI ? er available • IP66 and IK10 rated do with new data or even more data. “The biggest concern is always the right data. Can you trust that the vessel report- ing is correct, and how do you validate the data in a smart www.sonarayled.com | 844.202.5606 way in order to avoid a massive workload for operators for manual validation?” Coach is a cloud-based system that can validate manual data collected onboard. It also allows the company to use its own operational and commercial knowl- edge when considering any optimization factor.

Crews are bene? tting. METIS Cyberspace Technology says its AI-powered analytics analyze ef? ciency onboard and the changing operating environment, providing the of? - cer of the watch with actionable insights and alerts through- out a voyage.

Petter Andersen, SVP Shipping Digital at StormGeo, says qualitative assessments by the crew, operator, and weather routing company are needed to ensure safety, fuel savings and emissions reductions. “Machine learning and AI can continuously improve how we predict the effect of winds and waves on the vessel’s speed. However, having the right technology is only the ? rst step.”

Looking beyond crew, owner and charterer, Arnaud Di- anoux, Founder and Managing Director of Opsealog, is call- ing for a data democracy. “There is de? nitely a need for great- er data sharing and integration in the maritime sector, but also along supply chains more broadly,” he says. “Greater collabo- ration also needs to happen between the different providers of digital solutions that act as suppliers for a given ship or com- pany, to ensure seamless data integration. No single digital so- lution can achieve everything, so instead of looking for a silver bullet, shipping should aim to create a digital ecosystem.”

Looks like a new crowd just jumped in the sandpit.
