Cloud computingin the Maritime Industry

My day-to-day life

100 Mbps fiber optics links; streaming media to all devices everywhere; unlimited communication packages; unlimited storage on the cloud ; Big Data, the internet of Things and Cloud Computing.

My work life

Communication links in Kbps; packages in Mb or single digit GBs; and if you mention streaming, or unlimited storage on the cloud ; Big Data, the internet of Things and Cloud Computing, people would just think you are crazy

Are they really different? http://www.rethink-wireless.com/2015/09/16/inmarsat-pursues-internet-everywhere.htm

Modern communications will fundamentally transform the shipping industry, with more data analysis, digital controls and greater use of cloud computing.

Developments in communications and IT will lead to increased use of automated systems to improve operational performance and greater use of cloud computing resources.

Over the next decade, developments in information and communications technology will transform shipping, with vessels closely integrated with shipping offices, as well as with supply chains.

Increases in bandwidth and reductions in costs, more data will be collected, analysed and become a part of the decision-making process. This trend will be enhanced by the miniaturisation, virtualisation and embedding of software within hardware.

Investment Investment in HTS systems Operators planned

Airbus has won a contract to build 900 communications satellites for OneWeb's global high-speed satellite Internet service.

Due to multi-spot beam approach there is however a difference between overall capacity and capacity at a given point in the ocean.

Data explosion

Social media will also result in the generation of huge amounts of data, which will need to be stored.

The introduction of more automation on ships, and rapidly expanding data volumes, will require new approaches to data storage, processing and transfer of information, including a move to cloud computing and virtualization technologies

Maritime communication developments will also have an immenselypositive effect on crew retention. Making broadband Internet availableon vessels significantly improves the lives of seafarers, who can moreeasily communicate with family and stay connected to world events.

Data explosion

Data growth

IBM

A move to cloud computing is a unavoidable Processing power advances have led to greater demand for connectivity and

advanced data storage.

The growth in processing power will enable intelligent monitoring and analysis of data and information.

The ever-increasing number of machines that contain embedded software, and enhanced communication capabilities, will lead to the replacing of mechanical control systems by digital control systems.

The difficulty of controlling these digital control systems will increase in parallel to the increase in the implementation of more autonomous, decentralised software applications combined with more powerful processors.

Electronic devices containing built-in software will use more cloud computing and interactive networks. Ensuring security, data integrity, user identity, and reliability will be a growing concern as maritime operations become more dependent on software.

Impact: Some reported incidents

In 2012 it was revealed that crime syndicates had penetrated the cargo systems operated by the Australian Customs and Border protection. The penetration of the systems allowed the criminals to check whether their shipping containers were regarded as suspicious by the police or customs authorities.

Drug traffickers hacked into the computer controlling the location and movement of shipping containers at the port of Antwerp.

North Korea uses lorry-mounted devices to block GPS signals in South Korea. In early 2012 the attacks ran for 16 days, causing 1,016 aircraft and 254 ships to report disruption.

M2M Sensors in engine rooms and ship bridges will not only monitor certain operating

parameters, such as temperature, pressure, torque and fuel consumption. This trend will flow into more aspects of daily operations:

Business operations,

Navigation

Maintenance

Regulatory and administrative procedures

Commercial shipping will also adopt technologies developed for the oil and gas sector, such as systems for remote operations, diagnostics and data mining.

Efficiency & Transparency

The changes in IT will improve safety and efficiency, while the use of sensors and monitoring systems will enable greater transparency. Cargo owners, charterers and ship owners will require that shipping companies and managers provide verified information about a vessels performance.

The flow of information between ships, port authorities and regulators will be increasingly digitalised .

Advances in communications will lead to more automation of vessel operations.Unmanned vessels would benefit from lower operational costs, due to the elimination of on-board crew costs, risks associated with human error, and threats to crew safety. Unmanned vessels may also revolutionise supply chain logistics, which would have wide-reaching impacts.

Shipping companies will also change how they interact with customers and suppliers and start utilising centralised connected software and portals

for example BSMs use of PalE3.

List of questions to ask before deciding on a cloud service provider

What is the capability and experience of the vendor, is there any reference for similar deployment?

How much do the services, functionalities and features meet your business requirement?

Is there SLA, and what is it? Does it meet critical security or compliance needs e.g.

disaster recovery plan, privacy protection. Is it in compliance with standards e.g. ISO27002?

What flexibilities does it offer in terms of features / services setup and subscription?

How good is the support service? Only email support? Phone, chats, or on-site support? Local support is important sometimes.

Can company own data be got back (and how), when service is terminated? Important especially for ERP system.

What is the location of the data centre(s)? If your main offices/operation are in the local region, make sense to have cloud data centre in the same region e.g. Singapore

What are the costs? Initial, monthly, yearly, any price protection?
