Onboard and ashore, IoT application services, which rely on ships’ onboard equipment data, have become increasingly prevalent throughout the maritime industry. Japan Ship Machinery & Equipment Association’s (JSMEA) Smart Ship concept utilizes IoT application services to achieve optimum ship operation in terms of safety and energy efficiency.
Armed with two new international standards – ISO/CD 19847:Shipboard data servers to share field data on the sea and ISO/CD 19848:Standard data for shipboard machinery and equipment – JSMEA said it is targeting new business development in marine information field utilizing ship IoT data, and will host a Smart Ship Application Platform 2 (SSAP2) Project Seminar on September 8 at SMM Hamburg 2016.
