Abstract

The transport and logistics sector, by its nature, requires an intensive and efficient exchange of data for effective management and decision-making. The maritime sector requires a special treatment due to the complex and heterogeneous environment. The rapid adoption of IoT technologies in the naval industry will facilitate the effective management of primary services, including vessel tracking, emissions control, predictive maintenance, safety and welfare. This article describes IoT solutions adapted to the current needs of the sector. The proposals are aligned with the SMARTSEA project, which aims to develop an interactive MSc course on Maritime and Surveyor ICT/IoT systems, helping complete the market void in technical and maintenance specialists generated by the prompt expansion of the Smart Maritime & Surveying industry.
