DNV GL’s Technology Outlook can be likened to staring deeply into a crystal ball, providing insight into future technology trends and landscapes for the next decade across a selection of industries.
It has been five years since the last Technology Outlook was published by the DNV GL Group and one thing is certain, at the core of the latest edition is the utilisation of digitisation opportunities across all industries including shipping.
The Technology Outlook 2025 report predicts that the digitalisation of the global shipping fleet will be the pre-dominant driver of innovation in the next 10 years.
At the London press launch event, DNV GL senior researcher Christos Chryssakis also claimed that every ship will be fitted with broadband or an equivalent system by 2025.
The report focuses greatly on complex ship systems with increasing levels of autonomy that will be operated and optimised from shore.
The classification society believes that ships are becoming sophisticated sensor hubs and data generators. Advances in satellite communications are improving ship connectivity and allowing a massive increase in the volumes of data transferred at ever-lower cost. They say that the ship of the future is rapidly becoming a floating computer.
At the Oslo press launch that preceded the London press launch attended by Ship Efficiency Review, Remi Eriksen, DNV GL Group President and CEO said: “We are indeed entering a new ‘renaissance’ in industrial progress with the accelerated uptake of cyber-physical systems”.
