Rising use of big data to reduce bunker costs
Various ship operators and owners are using big data analytics for decreasing bunker costs. Low bunker costs aid in maintaining low freight rates. Marine big data software allows companies to implement energy efficiency retrofits that result in fuel savings, by using big data collection and analysis.
For instance, ClassNK and NAPA developed the ClassNK-NAPA GREEN software, which provides real-time big data analysis, performance optimization, and monitoring solutions for fuel-efficiency purposes. Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd. worked with Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd Group for developing the K-IMS, which reduces its bunker bill. Moreover, in 2016, We4Sea BV, a Netherlands-based company launched a big data fuel monitoring platform, for reducing ship emissions and bunker costs.
Lack of skilled workforce
The shipping industry is facing various challenges and instabilities, including labor shortages, margin pressures, market fluctuations, and oversupply, which are projected to hamper the profitability of the market.
In an unstable environment, market players are not certain about implementing big data, as it is a novel technology in the industry. In the marine industry, a skilled and sufficient number of human resources is required for the development of big data solutions.
Lack of trained and skilled data scientists is projected to impede the market growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, expenditure on big data is decreasing, which is projected to hamper the market growth in the coming years.
Increasing cyber threat and lack of cross-enterprise technologies
Cybercriminals, terrorists, and other malevolent groups pose a significant threat to marine IT and telecommunication infrastructures. Based on data given by CyberKeel, a Denmark-based cyber security firm, around 90% of huge container lines are susceptible to hackers.
Moreover, according to Joseph Carson, ESC Global Security’s head of the cyber security division, use of big data in the marine industry is expected to increase the susceptibility to cybercrime. Around 90% of global trade is transported by ships, which increases the risk of cyberattacks on the maritime sector, causing disruptions in the supply of food and energy. This is hampering the market growth.
Currently, ship owners, shipbuilders, and ports are majorly concerned in maintaining a efficient level of operation rather than a highly adaptable and responsive trading enterprise known as "container-as-a-community."
This indicates the lack of cross-enterprise processes. Instead of having a comprehensive approach to the business, companies are focusing on automating operations within functional silos. This makes it difficult to utilize the full potential of big data in the marine industry, which is expected to hamper the market growth.
Rising adoption of various strategies by shipping companies
Shipping companies and shipbuilders are focusing on various strategies, such as partnerships with various universities and major technological suppliers, for implementing big data analytics. For instance, Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), one of the largest shipbuilders, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Intel, the Ulsan Center for Creative Economy & Innovation (UCCEI), SK Shipping, Microsoft, and the Daejeon Center for Creative Economy & Innovation (DCCEI).
