Smart Maritime Network Copenhagen Conference

Across the maritime and transport sectors we have seen a number of collaborative initiatives, or ecosystems, emerging recently – all designed to provide better ways to approach complex challenges and create a more streamlined and efficient industry.

This session will review some of the more prominent of these and will provide the audience with an oppounitiy to learn how they might benefit from these.

We will also investigate how new technology is creating opportunities for new entrants to join the industry and form partnerships amd alliances with existing players, and how these are contributing to a safer and more efficient sector.

How Cooperation in Digitalisation and Standardisation will Lead to Increased Interoperability
• Why did the carriers create DCSA?
• What is the value proposition for DCSA?

A Collaborative Vision & Roadmap for an Autonomous Maritime Transport System
• Introducing One Sea, a collaboration to forward maritime autonomy (goal, members, organization etc.)
• The drivers for autonomy on the maritime side
• Introducing One Sea achievements
• Case examples from One Sea member companies (Cargotec, ABB, Kongsberg, Wärtsilä)

Each table will focus on a unique topic centred around the Smart Maritime Network goal of establishing better collaboration and standardisation in maritime technology. The roundtable discussions will last around 30 minutes with each table host then asked to summarise and share their discussions for the whole room, to ensure that all participants get the most from their attendance.

Table 1: Applications in Shipping
Hosted by Inmarsat
• What is required?
• Who will develop?
• When will we reach tipping point?
Moderated by Alberto Pérez Espinosa, Director Business Development, Inmarsat Maritime

Table 2: Opportunities and Challenges in Digitalization, Pathway to Common Standards in Data Acquisition and Transfer
Hosted by ABB
Moderated by Peik Jansson, Global Sales Manager Digital Services, ABB

Table 3: Transform into What? Exploring Desired Outcomes of Digitilisation from Multiple Angles Across the Maritime Ecosystem
Hosted by Cobham
• With so much talk around the topic of Digital Transformation, it’s all too easy to get lost in the tech, but how is success defined from a business perspective?
• What will your income statement look like in five years, and what are the key differences from today?
• How might your organisation and business model need to evolve to deliver that outcome?
Moderated by Matt Galston, Senior Director, Global Market Strategy & Development, Cobham SATCOM

Table 4: Standardization and Data Ownership
Hosted by IB Marine
• The tremendous potential of standardizing/harmonizing processes and information is the turning key point of the maritime field.
• In recent years “Cargo was King”, nowadays “Data is King”.
• Data is shaping the present and the future of shipping: All stakeholders must learn how to use it best to make this ecosystem safer and more efficient.
• Overcoming the concept of data ownership is possible, there is a huge amount of information that can be shared without violating any “property” issues. This info will help the whole supply chain to move faster and more efficiently.
Moderated by Giampiero Soncini, CEO, IB Marine

Table 5: Maritime Cybersecurity
Hosted by Dualog
The impact of a cyber incident is no longer limited to malfunctioning computers or employees not being able to use email. There is a direct, negative impact on the business and the bottom line.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has given until 1 January 2021 to incorporate cyber risk management into ship safety.
Ships need to be cybersecure, but what does this mean in practice? The challenge is to make sense of all the guidance available and put it to practical use.
• What is the industry experience with interpreting the many guidelines?
• Are there any simpler checklists that could serve as guidance or prioritizing?
• Any experiences on the impact on the budget, including ICT spending?
• What to expect from the IMO guidelines? What does mandatory mean?
• What kind of surveys or audits are available, if any?
• What about certifications? Are they one-size-fits-all or tiered?
• Given how broad the scope is (including OT), does it fall in ICT, or other departments’ responsibility?
Moderated by Walter Hannemann, Product Director, Dualog

Table 6: Remote Troubleshooting and Support
Hosted by KVH
• How can manufacturers and fleet managers connect onshore machinery experts and superintendents with officers at sea?
• What technologies can assist in the support story?
• Can remote support become a revenue generating business for manufacturers while generating 10x cost savings for fleets?
Moderated by Robert Hopkins, Senior Director, Maritime Services, KVH Industries

Table 7: Connectivity Surgery—Slicing through the Fat to get to the Meat
Hosted by Newtec
Join us at this table if all of the acronyms, technologies, orbits, and frequencies create more questions than answers. Straightforward discussions without an angle.
Moderated by Andrew Faiola, Head of Mobility, Newtec

Business Model Innovation in New Ecosystems of Global Trade

Leonardo Zangrando, Founder, Startup Wharf

In April 2018, IMO adopted a global strategy for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping industry in line with the ambitions of the Paris Agreement. The goals are for a 40 per cent relative reduction of greenhouse gases by 2030 compared to 2008, as well as a 50 per cent absolute reduction by 2050 and an ambition to fully phase out fossil fuels as soon as possible in this century.

Shipping has a major role to play combating these, and there have been a number of initiatives and platforms created to investigate solutions.

But the answer will lie in a lot more than simply “smartening-up” vessels, and many believe that collaboration amongst maritime stakeholders as well as utilising shared shipping capacity, looking at improved data exchange – alongside technically advanced “smart” ships – will pave the way.

So what measures is the industry taking and how are collaborative platforms across the digital field going to help combat the rising temperature of these threats?

Moderated by:
Asbjørn Overgaard Christiansen, Head of Innovation and Digitalization, Danish Shipping
