Shipping is more and more about central information gathering from different systems embedded in the ship but also combining external information.

We at OBJECTSconnected have hands-on experience with connecting different systems following market stands like NMEA but also more closed systems.

As the physical systems that make shipping possible come online it opens up a world of opportunities to improve how ships are operated. From vessel tracking and maintenance, to crew safety and welfare, anywhere that a physical operation takes place can be digitalized and improved through IoT.

Some use cases were IoT can help shipping :

• EU Monitoring, Reporting and Verification scheme – submitting detailed information about emissions
• Global cap on the sulphur content of emissions – IoT can be used to gather and monitor exhaust gas content.
