The Future of the Marine Industry is Digital (ep. #4)
Welcome to The Marine Industry Podcast Series – a podcast all about the evolving technology of the marine industry.
The last few episodes of this series have examined the many ways ships of the future—and the present—will change in the coming years. Yet there is still more to uncover. Advances in hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, autonomous systems, and more are expected to help ships become more efficient and sustainable, and digitalization will play a significant role fueling such innovation.
Join Jan van Os, Vice President of the Marine Industry at Siemens Digital Industries Software, and Dale Tutt, Vice President of Industry Strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software, as they wrap up their introduction to the marine industry, with plans for future episodes and deeper explorations of the industry on the horizon.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How to optimize a ship’s hydrodynamics and aerodynamics
- The role of the digital twin for autonomous ships
- Using data from operating ships to optimize system designs
- Additional future shifts in the marine industry

In the shipping industry, they want to minimize risk by using onboard sensors that can alert the crew and onshore partners to potential problems before they occur. Also, operators want training that costs less; and virtual reality saves money while providing skill levels, creating a new training business for the equipment maker. Finally, it’s essential to minimize downtime, and augmented reality can guide the crew by giving on-site help with access to remote support, which is an opportunity for the equipment supplier.
Creating a digital twin of a ship or a virtual representation of its onboard systems may not be the entire vessel—but it’s a great starting point. A digital ship uses various innovative technologies available today in operation and management companies.
