Shipping doesn't need more data: it needs better maritime data

1 month ago | ship-technology.com | Peter Nilson

Since the 1980s, onboard equipment has generated vast amounts of maritime data, which became accessible to shipowners and managers through software solutions. These systems stored information on maintenance, spare parts, consumables used and purchased, International Safety Management (ISM)-related documents, and crew activities. But very few shipping companies ever made use of such data, mainly for two reasons.
