The Fourth Maritime Industrial Revolution is driven by emerging and disruptive technologies. The key drivers for the coming decade will be automation, digitalisation and decarbonisation, leading to an emerging focus on connected smart ships, autonomous vessels and green shipping technologies and operations.Emergent technologies offer opportunities for the maritime industry to become safer and more efficient while reducing its environmental footprint. This will transform the industry, changing its more traditional trading ecosystem to a symbiotic one linking innovative concepts such as the Digital Economy, Future Cities and new trading systems.
