The SMN Vision
Following on from our Smart Maritime Network conferences in Athens, Tokyo and Copenhagen, the final SMN event for 2019 will take place in Singapore.
The goal of the conference is to bring together this maritime hub's transportation chain stakeholders to discuss the benefits of enhanced integration and data sharing among those working in the maritime and transport logistics sectors; informing and educating on technological developments and innovations, while providing wider opportunities for relationship building, business development and knowledge sharing.
Topics to be covered within the various sessions of day include:
• Addressing the current state of digitalisation in maritime
• Harmonisation and standardisation
• Platforms and ecosystems to address maritime complexity
• Harnessing technology for sustainability
• Is the regulatory environment helping or hindering the process of innovation and technology adoption?
• Which comes first – new technology or new financing models?
• Beyond maritime – how to promote better integration between maritime, the logistics chain and other stakeholders in cargo transportation?
• Plus – Technology Display Zones, where key partners will have the opportunity to showcase and demonstrate their products and services to the audience and explain how they are working towards a smarter, more joined-up future of shipping.
The conference proceedings will be followed by a Networking Party at the end of the day at the Marina Mandarin hotel, kindly sponsored by Inmarsat, to further enable discussion and partnerships between all those attending.

- SESSION 1: The Smart Maritime Network
Evolving Business Models for an Evolving Industry
Across the maritime and transport sectors we have seen a number of collaborative initiatives, or ecosystems, emerging recently – all designed to alleviate complex challenges and create a more streamlined and efficient industry.
This session will investigate how innovative technologies are creating opportunities for new entrants to become part of the maritime landscape and form partnerships with existing players, how these changes are contributing to a safer and more efficient industry, and the subsequent impact on finance and investment in the sector.

Table 6: 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 another departments’ responsibility?
Moderated by Andrea Giglietti, Customer Service Manager – Global, Dualog
Table 7: Remote Troubleshooting and Support
Hosted by KVH
• How can we connect onshore machinery experts and superintendents with engineer officers at sea?
• Who should participate in the support sessions and who should offer the service?
• What technologies can assist in the support story?
• Can remote support generate substantial cost savings for fleets?
Moderated by Robert Hopkins, Senior Director, Maritime Services, KVH Industries
Table 8: Crew and Connectivity
Hosted by ST Engineering iDirect
• How will the balance and type of work required by crew change in an increasingly digitalised shipboard environment?
• How does connective ity for crew welfare help or hinder your operations?

- SESSION 2: Digitalisation for Sustainability
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?
