Collecting and sharing data from the vessels is the basis for your digital transformation. Recent advancements in sensor and VSAT technology have opened up new opportunities for collecting data onboard and connecting the ships closer to the office onshore. Vessel information can be shared in real-time, which allows improved decision-making in the offices and onboard, and opens new possibilities for onshore support during emergency situations. Connectivity has also been identified as a main driver in increasing crew welfare, security and paves the way for more remote operations and unlocking significant cost saving potentials.
