Fragmented ship technology raises cybersecurity and data-integration concerns

The autonomous ship market is also expected to reach $217.6 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2024 to 2033.

From connected systems to integrated ships The growing adoption of maritime IoT, AI-based data analytics, cloud computing and smart-ship technologies is generating increasing amounts of operational data.

However, the white paper argues that many ship-specific digital solutions remain fragmented, limiting their ability to work together effectively.

An integrated digital platform, by contrast, could bring ship operations, maintenance and logistics data together, enabling real-time analysis and supporting faster decision-making.

Cybersecurity becomes part of the equation The integration challenge also has a direct cybersecurity dimension.
