As the demands continue to grow, the summit will address how owners and managers should address these and what needs to be done to ensure a smooth transition into a digital era of shipping.

One of the questions panellists will be discussing is ‘Can technology be effective in reducing cost and improving compliance in areas of electronic money; Maintenance Records on board ship; Sustainable/Operational Manning Levels and the management of unmanned ships?’.
