Today's maritime industry requires realistic solutions and concepts for a modern, integrated operational infrastructure that delivers a sustainable, viable future, says Transas, a developer and supplier of a wide range of IT solutions for the marine industry.

 
Whether an autonomous ship or not, the maritime sector needs an infrastructure solution that will enhance and support our human element and enable operations. 
 
Transas CEO Frank Coles will deliver insight and practical innovation for the future of maritime operations during a special presentation on Tuesday, September 6 at SMM Hamburg.
 
According to The Future of Maritime Operations Survey, more than 70 percent of ship owners, operators and managers believe that it would be helpful to have shared input/operational responsibility between on-board crew and shore-based personnel at all times. 
 
ECDIS, ship stability, voyage planning and weather forecast data as well as fuel consumption, engine performance and bridge alarm system data should all be made available in real time to the shore as well as on the ship. 
 
The majority feel the crew would be willing to accept operational decisions from shore and this just one of the options open to the maritime stakeholders if collaborating through one central operating system and repository of mega data.
 
There can be interactions across the maritime network with training schools, ports, regulators as well as the ship and shore, all able to share common data. 
 
During the presentation, Coles will demonstrate how this is now possible, and will show THESIS (the Transas Harmonised Eco System of Integrated Solutions) in action. 
 
“This is shipping's future delivered now,” Coles said. “Transas have opened the way for the global maritime community to finally take advantage of truly integrated operations that exponentially improve efficiency and safety throughout.”
 
In addition, he will share insights from Transas's industry collaboration and the resulting R&D.
