DIGITALIZATION IN MARITIME COMMUNITY

The manuscript “Digitalization in Maritime Community” is organized into two parts. In the first one, there are the descriptions, rather from the management aspect, of some up-to-date maritime info-communication systems, like: (S-)AIS, ECDIS, e-Navigation, Maritime Cloud, AMOS and (N)MSW. The second part contains a collection of the research studies in different domains of digitalization in maritime business and industry. These studies concern: the sea ports’ (re)positioning, including their ICT dimensions; enhancing the safety of the sea port workers by using wireless body sensor networks, along with the appropriate backend info-communication systems; and, some possibilities of moving maritime education and training into the sphere of Cloud computing. The manuscript should serve as an inspiration for further research work(s) in the field.
