‘Big Data & Performance Management in Shipping 2015’ is a senior networking and learning event, showcasing the new hot topic identified as being the next big thing in the shipping industry. This is particularly topical as new technologies are being brought out to specifically use big data to optimise the performance of ships. There is great interest from shipping companies as fuel prices remain a significant part of their cost base so anything to improve energy efficiency is a welcome addition. Having said that, most companies are yet to be convinced that they should definitely invest in these systems as they involve high upfront costs and this conservative, financially challenged industry wants to know that it will receive a payoff. This is why the event is focused on the business case for using ‘big data’ for shipping performance. The conference will bring together performance, technical and operational managers from ship owner companies from all around the world who are looking to spend money on new systems. Encourages to gain a snap shot of the business case for using big data for performance improvements, how on board, AIS, weather and satellite data can be analysed to reduce fuel consumption, what the future holds for big data use in the shipping industry, including international data collection system, predictive maintenance and operational efficiency measures.
