A chapter in Maritime Informatics, 2021, pp 137-149 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Some contemporary developments in the maritime sector are discussed and their connection to Maritime Informatics considered. Increased attention has lately been placed upon smartness and maritime operations, such as smart ships and smart ports. Operations are becoming electrified and automated. The future of maritime commerce will be founded on process simplification, standardisation, connectivity, controllability, efficiency, and predictability. The volumes of data shared through digital data streams (DDSs) will expand dramatically in the coming years, and new opportunities for enhanced transparency will surface, and there will be new avenues for collaboration. Such opportunities will enhance the quality of a common situational awareness along the maritime transport chain.
