DIGITAL
SHIP 2010: TECHNOLOGY AND THE FUTURE OF SHIPPING
September 10, 2002
Inmarsat Conference Centre, LONDON
There is lots of fear about how technology will change shipping: now
we’re all in a wiser position to understand how these things will
work. What will the future of shiping ultimately be?
Ships, offices and people are getting increasingly connected together.
At our conference we try to draw some conclusions. How will shipping
evolve over the next few years and what role will technology play?
TARGET AUDIENCE
This conference is aimed at people with a business interest in how
technology will change the shipping industry, including technology
suppliers putting together strategic planning for the next five years
and shipping companies looking to gain a better feel about how to
stay ahead of the competition through more effective use of technology.
SEAFARER CAREER PATHS - SHIPBOARD COMPUTER NETWORKS - ELECTRONIC NAVIGATION
- FASTER AND CHEAPER SHIP SHORE COMMUNICATIONS -
MODERATOR: Philip van Bergen, principal, Maritime
Communications Network and secretariat, Maritime E-commerce Association
KEYNOTE: TECHNOLOGY AND SHIPPING
What are the major trends we can expect to see in terms of how
technology is introduced in the maritime industry, what impact will
it make and how can we best prepare for it? Speaker from shipmanagement
company
OPENING SESSION: THE FUTURE OF SEAFARERS
THE FUTURE OF THE SEAFARER CAREER PATH
Would a combination of officer licensing, university education, 5-10
years at sea, and then working ashore meet industry needs and provide
a workable career model? How would different countries be affected?
Will jobs and organisation charts change as the candidate profiles
change? How can technology help this to happen? Fred Doll,
managing director, Doll Shipping Consultancy
The job market for seafarers coming ashore in 2010. What is the shipping
industry doing to encourage people into the industry? Will there be
a skills shortage in 2010? What will be the source of future managers
in shipping? How long will seafarers stay at sea, what type of careers
will they move into after being at sea, and how will they be trained
for new jobs whilst at sea? Phil Parry, managing director,
Spinnaker Consulting (Shipping
jobs.com)
FUTURE
SEAFARER IDENTITY CARDS which technologies would work best for
seafarer identity cards? should seafarer identity cards indicate whether
or not seafarers have criminal records? Who should issue them?
BREAK
SESSION TWO: THE FUTURE NAVIGATION
SHIPS ON AUTOPILOT
How far will ships go to run on autopilot? How far will the maritime
industry go with autorouting technology?
AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS
How much will the maritime industry be able to benefit from these
systems? Will we see automatic ship to ship communication? How
far will ships go to send messages to each other working out how to
keep out of each other's way?
SUPPLEMENTING THE REAL VIEW THROUGH THE WINDOW WITH A COMPUTER DISPLAY
Is it sensible to overlay digital information over the real view
out of the window, so that the captain knows what he is looking at,
or to help him see at night time or in poor visibility? Would the
captain agree to wearing a headset viewing device?
BEFORE
LUNCH PANEL DISCUSSION is it at all feasible that technology can
improve the amount of training seafarers need to undergo, not increase
it?
LUNCH
SESSION THREE: FUTURE VESSEL INFORMATION SYSTEMS
SHIP
MONITORING steering a course through regulatory ship tracking,
and discreet surveillance and alarm systems. What technology, what
application, what security and at what cost? Julian Longson,
marketing director, Pole Star
Space Applications
GOVERNMENT SHIP MONITORING what
kind of government ship monitoring systems can we expect? Will governments
know where all ships are at all times, what cargoes are inside and
who owns them?
BREAK
SESSION FOUR: SUPPLIERS AND AGENTS
SHIP
SUPPLIES how will shipping company supplies be organised in future
and what will the business structure of suppliers be?
CHANGING
ROLE OF THE SHIP AGENT e-business makes international business
as easy as local business in some respects, when it comes to buying,
selling and communicating information. But there are some areas where
shipping companies will still need a representative in every port,
if only to report why the ship got held up. What is the future role
of the ship agent?
PANEL DISCUSSION what is the best and worse effects that technology
has on the maritime industry?
