The volume of data available in the world is growing exponentially; according to recent predictions by International Data Corporation, the amount of data created worldwide in 2025 will be ten times what it was in 2017.
Increased digitalisation of the shipping industry is an inevitability. The consumption of data analytics to gain deeper maritime domain awareness is on the increase. Indeed Shoreline is a consumer of data analytics derived from AIS positional data. They work with leading data analytics firm Windward, to establish accurate reporting on Shoreline’s insured fleet for every entry, exit and duration of stay within the United States Exclusive Economic Zone.
Windward’s artificial intelligence-driven platform processes millions of data points to establish accurate vessel tracking in pre-defined areas or ‘polygons’. Shoreline uses data analytics to re-engineer their internal administrative procedures to create significant efficiencies for the business and their client base.
In this podcast Nick Maddalena, a consultant for Shoreline, talks to Ron Crean VP of Commercial at Windward about digitalisation and the shipping industry and whether Covid-19 has accelerated our adoption of all things digital.
