Market Dynamics
Driver: Rise in marine fleet size
The demand for various marine vessels is increasing continually due to the rise in marine seaborne trade and the expansion of various marine activities. The volume of goods traded by sea globally has witnessed a gradual increase in recent years. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, maritime trade recovered by 4.3% in 2021 and growth is expected to continue between 2022 and 2026. The demand for new ships, such as cargo ships, bulk carriers, oil & gas tankers, and container ships, and, the revamping of existing ships with the latest technologies are also expected to grow with increasing trade volumes. New vessels are being equipped with advanced systems such as the integrated bridge system, automation identification system (AIS), and propulsion control systems for improved communication, navigation, and engine safety and efficiency.
Restraints: High cost of marine onboard communication and control systems
The marine onboard communication and control systems encompass various systems and components. Marine vessels need to be equipped with advanced communication infrastructure to ensure seamless connectivity for real-time data exchange, navigation, and operational control. The digitalization and upgradation of marine onboard systems require a high investment by ship operators and manufacturers. The cost of these systems also increases due to their complex integration onboard vessels. The high cost of marine onboard communication and control systems can make it difficult for shipping companies to justify the investment, especially when the potential return on investment (ROI) is uncertain or may take several years to materialize. For example, the cost of a communication system is very high due to the presence of several components like radios, receivers, and transceivers. A VSAT communication antenna system can also cost around USD 60,000. The high cost of communication hardware is one of the major restraints for small shipping manufacturing companies.
Opportunities: Evolving connectivity solutions in the maritime industry
The evolving connectivity solutions like 5G, satellite constellations, and low Earth orbit satellites raise the development of modern marine onboard communication systems. Marine vessels can now maintain connectivity even in remote areas through advanced satellite communication systems, high-speed internet, and IoT (Internet of Things) technologies. The integration of smart sensors and monitoring devices within maritime communication systems enhances control and navigation capabilities. These sensors provide crucial data on engine performance, fuel consumption, and weather conditions. The evolving connectivity solutions provide the ability to gather, analyze, and act upon the data in real-time, allowing predictive maintenance, early fault detection, and improved overall operational efficiency. The evolving connectivity enables continuous communication for vessels to receive real-time weather updates, navigational warnings, and emergency alerts. This enhances situational awareness for both onboard crew and onshore support teams, mitigating potential risks and ensuring a proactive response to adverse conditions.
Challenges: Retrofitting of marine onboard communication and control systems
Retrofitting involves integrating modern systems into older ships that were not initially designed to integrate such technologies. This process is complex and presents several challenges that need to be addressed. One primary challenge of retrofitting marine onboard communication and control systems is the integration with legacy infrastructure. Older vessels may have outdated wiring, control interfaces, and communication protocols that are incompatible with the requirements of modern systems. Adapting these legacy components to a seamless interface with communication technologies can be a labor-intensive and difficult task due to extensive modifications in the existing infrastructure. Retrofitting requires considering the impact on a vessel’s overall stability and safety. The addition of new equipment and modifications to existing structures may affect the ship’s weight distribution and center of gravity. Retrofit projects often require a high investment in terms of both time and resources which becomes a vital challenge to integrate marine onboard communication and control systems.
