New Offshore Maritime Technology Aims to Recognize Upcoming Waves of Innovation and New Trends in Future Studies in the Sector
Some of the most frequently asked questions nowadays by industry leaders, including ABS: Will autonomous vessels dominate the oceans? Can artificial intelligence conceive an optimized offshore asset? Is nuclear energy the ultimate power source of the future? These questions are brought to light as a wave of new technologies are about to revolutionize the offshore sector, according to the website Mobilidade Sampa.
ABS understands the upcoming waves of innovations and is planning a course for the future of maritime and offshore technologies with a new report, Technology Trends: Exploring the Future of Maritime Innovation.
The disclosure, launched at the ABS Hellenic Technical Committee, provides an executive insight into the future of advanced maritime and offshore technologies, showcasing a vision and timeline for key technological milestones in the journey towards digitalization and net-zero emissions.
