By securely minimising the costs of data ownership and portability for owners and operators, the ShipDC IoS-OP aims to set up a new, digital maritime cluster to share vessel operational data between stakeholders.

The new platform will enable shipyards and manufacturers to access the rich data necessary for far-reaching innovation and research.

Service users of the platform can use NAPA’s expertise to accurately assess vessel and voyage performance to slash emissions and boost profitability, or to research and validate new technologies.

NAPA Japan managing director Naoki Mizutani said: “Collecting data on its own doesn’t add value unless you can turn it into insight. At NAPA, we can build on more than 30 years of naval architectural expertise and combine that knowledge with the latest big data tools to find answers to the questions the industry needs answering.
