Sensoring with Digital Technology

The sophistication of technologies for tracking ship effectiveness and activities has been continually rising. Future ships will be equipped with a network of sensors that will monitor all aspects of its operations, including detecting problems and identifying places that require maintenance or repair.

Environmentally Friendly Shipping

The demand to minimize the carbon emissions of the world’s shipping fleets is constant, and it will only get stronger in the future. Low-carbon fuels, less streamlined hulls, more economical propeller design, smarter trip planning to save fuel, better hull coatings, and even air cushioning to minimize friction are among the innovations being investigated.

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as a Source of Energy

While traditional oil-based fuels are anticipated to remain dominant in the foreseeable future, LNG usage for specialty boats is likely to expand, providing the opportunity for the concept to be proven and developed on a bigger scale.

Ships Powered by Solar and Wind Energy

Systems that cut fuel usage by augmenting the existing power source with onboard wind generators or solar panels are the most likely use for such a technology in commercial shipping.

From ‘Just in Time,’ supply chains will shift to ‘Just in Case’

It’s no secret that several firms struggled with supply chain issues and shortages all through the pandemic. Due to labour shortages, temporary epidemic mandates, or anxiety about their economic futures, previously trustworthy suppliers were unable to meet demand, and warehouses around the world reduced or even suspended operations.

The Use of Business Intelligence

The use of business intelligence in package delivery systems will become a “must-have” element. Shippers can easily combine, normalize, and report transport data using a parcel shipping solution that includes Data Analytics through :

• Eliminating silos by linking people, procedures, data, and technologies so that teams can make informed decisions and parcel shipping operations can be tied to the company’s overall strategy.
• Identifying inefficiencies and enabling carriers to improve order volume, shipping velocity, and on-time delivery rates.
• Demonstrating the influence of carrier capacity constraints and order demand on carriers and transportation budgets, allowing management to adjust carriers and transport budgets to meet customer requirements.
• Getting surface insights, providing management with an arbiter of facts & telemetry to confidently steer, forecast, or report on the parcel transportation industry.
