TY - JOUR AU - Bertram, Volker PY - 2020/01/01 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Technology trends for ships and shipping of tomorrow JF - Maritime Technology and Research JA - Marit. Technol. Res. VL - 2 IS - 1 SE - Article DO - 10.33175/mtr.2020.190783 UR - https://so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/MTR/article/view/190783 SP - 1-18 AB - <p>The paper discusses key trends in ship design, ship building, and ship operation, and extrapolates those trends into the future. Fast and unconventional craft will play only a minor role in this scenario. In fact, trends in shipping are towards lower speed and simpler hull shapes, wind assisted technologies, and propulsion improving devices. Cleaner fuels, most notably LNG, condition-based maintenance, remote instruction, and Augmented Reality will support the operation of low-crew ships. The proliferation of sensors and increased satellite bandwidth will fundamentally change logistics.</p> ER -
