NATO to use IoT satellite technology for oceanography research

NATO’s Science and Technology Organisation is partnering with Globalstar Europe Satellite Services (SGAT) for IoT System to monitor the oceans. The research focuses on the horizontal motion in the sea and on how surface properties are transported deeper into the water column. This will result to a understanding of changes in maritime characterisations such as temperature change, acoustic propagation, and the movement of biogeochemical properties (e.g.,phytoplankton) and pollutants such as...

Testbed created for Internet of Ships Open Platform

On October 18, a testbed was set out for an Internet of Ships Open Platform (IoS-OP), while NYK provided an onboard IoT platform that has been developing with MTI Co., and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT). NYK will use the IoS-OP to improve safety and reduce environmental loads.

The IoS-OP consortium was launched in June 2018 by ShipDC, a ship data center that aims to establish a platform to use data collected from vessel operation.

When carrying out the test by satellite for...

The digital future of container handling

What if in the future the world’s biggest container handling company didn’t even touch physical containers?

The ongoing convergence of key disruptive technologies such as AI, the IoT, machine learning, augmented reality and blockchain is expected to lead to an autonomous supply chain that will react to every contextual situation based on the real-time data received from all connected devices and systems. The openness and transparency of this system of systems will drastically increase the...

NYK introduces new ship-bridge concept to reduce casualties

Japanese shipping company NYK has completed a new concept for a ship’s bridge and employed it on a large container ship. The new bridge concept, is named ‘Integrated information and bridge system’, and the space and nautical instruments on this new bridge have been designed to take advantage of IoT aspects of instruments and to improve the safety and efficiency of vessel operation.

The move comes as a result from the company’s cooperation with navigation equipment makers and shipbuilders since...
