The voice of IT Leadership in the commercial maritime industry

Picture this: an airline pilot can fly from London to Singapore using a single digital ID that connects seamlessly across systems, regulators, and airports. In contrast, a ship’s captain joining a vessel might still be juggling paper certificates, scanned PDFs and paper records which not only slows down the process, but it can also be immensely frustrating. Add this to the number of crew on board going through the same process.
