Executive Summary
Using data analytics to improve shipboard
operations and maintenance has the potential to
create billions of dollars of value in the marine
industry today and even more in the future. This
industrial internet of things (IIoT) concept,
connecting machines and using automated data
analytics along with domain expertise to
optimize operations and maintenance, has
already created significant value in many
industries like power generation and commercial
aviation and is now becoming a reality for the
marine industry. While the opportunity across
industries will exceed 10 trillion dollars per year
in the next 15 years, the opportunity for asset
owners, operators and managers to reduce
costs, improve fuel efficiency, and increase
uptime and reliability is approximately 20 billion
dollars today and will exceed 50 billion dollars by
2030.
Potential annual value creation for
individual ships could be as high as $1M or
greater when considering potential fuel savings,

Maintenance
With assets operating all over the world,
including some of the most remote locations on
the planet, the potential value created by
improving how maintenance is conducted is
higher than in industries with greater asset
concentration and easier access.
Any
improvements in maintenance planning and
moving more maintenance from unscheduled to
scheduled will help to reduce all costs associated
with emergent work, which are magnified when
assets are greatly dispersed and in remote
locations.
The marine industry also operates increasingly
complex assets. It brings together equipment
manufactured by multiple OEMs and requires a
very diverse skill set to operate and maintain.

Environment
There is significant value that can be created
from an environmental perspective in the marine
industry. The transportation sector, as a whole,
accounts for 13% of the total, global greenhouse
gas emissions.9 Marine, with many applications
consuming heavy fuel oil, is a significant driver.
This has led to various international, national
and local organizations to impose stricter
regulations on the types of fuel being consumed
and resulting emissions. In addition to emissions

Implementation
There are several challenges that will need to be
overcome for the broader IIoT: increased sensors
and smarter equipment, increased bandwidth to
share data, open standards to communicate
across different types of equipment and systems,
more advanced analytics, and availability of data
scientists with the skills and domain expertise to
turn that data into actionable information.
These same high level challenges are essentially
the same as those facing the marine sector in the
adoption of the IIoT, however, the details of
what enablers will help overcome these

Define objectives
The first step in making the right technology
investments is to determine the objectives.
Ideally all stakeholders are a part of this process,
including
owners,
managers,
operators,
customers, consultants, OEMs, Classification
Societies and 3rd party technology providers. It is
helpful to lay out each organizations objectives,
which may or may not overlap with each other.
This group should define both high level
objectives, as well as how to measure
performance against them. For instance, an
owner may be very focused on managing
maintenance
expenses
and
minimizing
unplanned downtime, both of which directly
impact his bottom line. A charterer may be also
focused on avoiding unnecessary and unplanned
downtime (which could disrupt his schedule), but
is also likely focused on reducing fuel
consumption as this expense is often the
charterers responsibility. In the long term,
owners are also often concerned with fuel
efficiency, as that can impact the charter rate the

Security
Security is a top concern for many leaders in the
marine industry. Some owners and operators
are concerned about their data and information
(which they protect) being accessed by
unauthorized parties.
Some owners and
operators are worried that by connecting

Conclusions
The industrial internet of things (IIoT) presents a
huge opportunity to the marine industry, with
the potential to create over 20 billion dollars of
value annually.
While not all ships are
positioned to immediately capture the IIoT
benefits, that number will grow significantly, as
almost every new-build ship is having technology
built in to capture these benefits.
The benefits to marine stakeholders are
significant. Substantial fuel savings, reduction in
maintenance and repair costs, and greater
assurance of environmental compliance are the
largest drivers.
Organizations need to start thinking now about
how they are going capture benefit from the
IIoT. Owners need to be thoughtful about the
investments they make and look beyond the
immediate problem they are trying to solve. In
order to do this most effectively, owners should
follow a high level methodology:
1-Define business goals and objectives: Owners
need to think through what is important to them
and their customers, both in the present and in
the future. It is important to define metrics to
be monitored in near real time and then monitor
periodically to compare anticipated benefit to
actual benefit realized.
2-Define information and data needs: With
objectives and goals defined, owners need to
identify what information will be needed to
measure progress towards the goals, but also to
provide better information to operators and
managers to enable them to make better
decisions that are aligned with achieving the
goals. Owners need to think through how to
obtain the required information and what data
and analytics are needed.
