Shipping is the world's oldest sharing economy and is conducted in
a self-organizing manner. Shipping is capital, energy, and
information intensive, and with the growing impact of
digitalization and climate change, there is a need to rethink the
management and operations of this critical global industry -
assisted in no small way by maritime informatics. Building upon the
recently published inaugural book Maritime Informatics by Springer,
this book will address some of the most recent practical
developments and experiences, particularly from a global
perspective. The focus of the book is to address contemporary
movements to tackle global concerns and to complement Maritime
Informatics.

This first book on Maritime Informatics describes the potential for
Maritime Informatics to enhance the shipping industry. It examines
how decision making in the industry can be improved by digital
technology, and introduces the technology required to make Maritime
Informatics a distinct and valuable discipline. Based on
participating in EU funded research over the last six years to
improve the shipping industry, the editors stipulate that there is
a need for the new discipline of Maritime Informatics, which
studies the application of information systems to increasing the
efficiency, safety, and ecological sustainability of the world's
shipping industry. This book examines competition and collaboration
between shipping companies, and also companies who serve shipping
needs, such as ports and terminals. Practical examples from leading
experts give the reader real world examples for better
understanding.
