Themes Europort 2017
Big data
Big Data is, without doubt, a game changer. Smart ships, offering scope for enhanced analysis of captured data, will provide insights that will minimise costs and optimise vessel performance. Europort will provide a showcase for new generation IT and system integration tools, ultra-sensitive monitoring, condition-based maintenance, fleet performance management and the other types of data analysis needed to help owners and operators achieve better cost efficiency and lower the overall total cost of ownership.
The new environmental age
The development of environment-friendly technology is often driven by international regulations. However, market leaders turn the quest for sustainability into a strategic competitive advantage, rather than a necessary evil. Europort will present a range of new green technology solutions, from ultra-efficient propeller designs and ballast water technology, to high tech coatings and fuel-efficient solar cell systems. The underlying message will be clear. Clean and efficient shipping technology is central to a profitable and sustainable business model.
The human factor
In shipping, success and competitiveness rely on having a highly skilled workforce that is enabled to innovate and operate in increasingly tough market conditions, charting a path to new business. Europort will lead a timely discussion on the importance of human capital, stressing the need to engage with young talent and invest in staff expertise to strengthen operational skills and boost existing productivity levels, as well as prepare to meet demands in the future.
