The
importance of maritime digitalisation has significantly increased over the past
few years. As a result, BIMCO has submitted a paper to the International
Maritime Organization (IMO) advocating for the development of a comprehensive
strategy on maritime digitalisation. The IMO Committee on Facilitation will
discuss the paper at meetings on 8-12 April with the aim to exploit the
potential of digitalisation, including efficiency, safety, and sustainability
in ship design, ship operation and port call activities. The paper has been
submitted in conjunction with China, Liberia, Republic of Korea, Singapore, the
United Arab Emirates and the ISO (International Organization for
Standardization).
