The regulatory requirements to reduce
shipping's environmental footprint
necessitate the acceleration of the
industry's digital transformation, which
received an initial boost during the pan-

demic. After all, a major hurdle for ship-
ping companies toward decarbonisation
is their long-standing reliance on paper
documents for legal and regulatory pur-
poses. In this context, shipping compa-

nies are now required to proceed with
large-scale investments in technologies
aimed at fleet optimisation that will pave
the way for the transition to the new era.
At the same time, this transformation
implies a new status quo when it comes

to connectivity between vessels and
offices as well as a change in corporate
culture. In the following pages, shipping
industry executives share their views on
the steps needed to achieve fleet opti-
misation, what is next for connectivity

and telecommunications in the shipping
industry, and the benefits of Artificial
Intelligence.
