• Autonomous vessels including subsystems such as control systems and sensors.
• Sensor and robotic systems both within the port environment and on vessel.
• Smart maintenance operations technologies.
• Port and shipyard operations optimisation and digitisation.
• Digital tools such as for smart route planning and emissions monitoring.
• Big data and AI - how new business models can create value in the maritime sector and for optimisation and planning of maritime traffic, smart shipping, safety and skills.
