FUTURE INNOVATION DAY

Workshop Sessions

• TOWARDS A CLEAN MARINE INDUSTRY

  Shipping industry is emitting one billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere every year. In addition, NOx and SOx contribute to local pollution that is causing reduced health and quality of life. The challenge and threat to ship owners is the risk of investing in a fleet that experience local restrictions to their operations. Are the investments at stake? How can these risks be mitigated? How we cope with emission regulations, public opinions and global regulations. Can the green technology be the only answer to the question?

  
  

• CLEAN ENERGY PRODUCTION AND STORAGE

  The growth of renewable energy in the world is exponential. For marine transport the use of energy storage on board vessels is a key success factor to be able to use renewables. How can this be done? Where are we today and what do we need in the future.

  
  

• SMART MARINE ECOSYSTEM

  Threats that potentially disrupt the marine industry require a complete different approach. Instead of buying products Wärtsilä has taken a bold step to introduce its Smart Marine Ecosystem vision. What does an ecosystem require, how does digitalization support this and how can we better collaborate and share data? Get inspired and share ideas towards the future.

  
  

• INTELLIGENT VESSEL

  Is an autonomous vessel a target in itself or is it a step up towards a more efficient zero emission ship? Share your views, challenge other participants and develop a view on what is important.

  
  

• SMART PORTS

  The biggest part of the inefficiencies (waste) in the transport chain is from waiting time in ports. What can be done, how do new ideas, new tools create opportunities to become more effective.

  
  

• NEW SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODELS

  The days that the lowest cost equipment is the best for a vessel over its complete life time are long gone, or…? How is the current business working against us and what can we do to adapt it for the future?

  
  

• SERVICE 4.0

  Service 4.0 lock new technologies based on remote asset optimization into the value chain of the operators. How can ambitions become real and which ideas do we support to get a complete new more efficient operating model on the service. Not reactive but pro-active, providing less downtime and lower maintenance cost.
