DMA Promotes Cross-border Digitalisation

December 20, 2017

 International cooperation on standardisation and maritime digitalisation are this year’s themes as the Danish Maritime Authority and IALA are hosting the conference ’e-Navigation Underway’ for the eighth time. 

The conference takes place on board the M/S PEARL SEAWAYS, which will be heading for Oslo on a return voyage from 24 to 26 January. Now, everyone interested in digitalisation in the maritime field can register for the conference.​
Director General Andreas Nordseth from the Danish Maritime Authority will open the conference together with the Secretary-General of IALA, and this year’s keynote speaker is DFDS President and CEO Niels Smedegaard. 
Furthermore, various players, including IMO Technical Officer Sasha Pristom, will present ongoing international work within e-navigation and digitalisation. The conference offers an opportunity for the attendees to hear various suggestions for how to reap the benefits of e-navigation and digitalisation across stakeholders and borders. 
For example, Maersk’s Innovation Strategy Manager Michael Rodey will explain how work on e-navigation can benefit shipowners from an operational perspective.
