The four ages of maritime data analytics and the rise of digitalisation

摘要

Maritime data analytics is the term given to collecting, analysing and disseminating information on shipping activities. The core of the data is the ship specification, ownership, commercial operation and movements. The first era of shipping data: the age of chit-chat The first age of maritime data analytics started with chit-chat in Lloyd's coffee houses and the subsequent publication of Lloyd's List in 1734, literally listing vessels arriving at the Pool of London, and their cargoes. This was the age of passive data, really only of interest to those in the shipping and insurance industries.
