The sea connects every continent in the world. Around 90% of the world trade is carried by ship. It is critical that Marine operators are efficient and effective to survive the challenges they face. Unproductive practices can be very costly. Unplanned downtime and engine failure are not only costly for the company, they can be very disruptive for passengers and cargo freight.  

Planned downtime and preventative maintenance, such as engine and hull cleaning are necessary to reduce energy costs and eliminate the risk of breakdown. Thorough inspection of a vessel before it sets sail is key as well as keeping all equipment up-to-date.

Recent developments in data and analytics help to deliver better insights on marine conditions and performance, enabling predictive maintenance and reducing nonproductive time, a major source of inefficiency and financial loss. Digital developments allow the Marine Industry to meet the challenges of today and position itself for better growth and margins for years to come.
