In recent years, we've experienced the changes digital technology has brought about in the shipping industry – introducing transformation from shore to sea. We've witnessed substantial improvements across various platforms and enhancements in communication systems courtesy of AI. Yet, the line between progression and over-dependency remains slim, and an increase in cyber threats lurks in these technological shadows.

How do these developments support or hinder the process of procurement operations and the supply chain in general, and what could be next?

Joined by industry experts, we invite you to dive deep into the heart of digitisation, exploring the following topics:

·     Platform progress: What advancements are increasing procurement and vessel management proficiency, time and cost saving and aiding in procurement and supply?

·     Examining the Pace of Progress: Are we fast-forwarding into the future, potentially sidelining the human facet of shipping? Destination or detour? What are the potential consequences of our rapid technological advancements?

·     Communication: From Starlink to enhanced 5G and 6G signals, new-age satellite communications are revolutionising vessel and port operations. Explore how low-latency systems are turning the tide for efficient and ubiquitous connectivity.

·     Harnessing AI's Potential: How is Artificial Intelligence redefining optimisation norms, processing data, and influencing ship operations?

This debate session promises to explore the latest trends in digital transformation in shipping.
