In 2017, the every ship smart. By applying Digital Economy and Society Index digital technology, we have vast ranked Finland as the EU’s second opportunities to raise the level most advanced digital economy. of safety in maritime operations, The companies in the Finnish journey into remote and arctic Marine Industries Cluster have the territories, and support sustainable experience, expertise and proven transport at sea. track records to bring about lasting Finland is a global forerunner change for smarter, safer and in developing digital solutions more sustainable maritime with world-leading capabilities in operations. artificial intelligence, sensoring and 5 6 SMART SHIPPING SUSTAINABLE VOYAGING Rapidly developing digital Finnish companies have also gained technologies are connecting people a global reputation for creating and machines to minimize human smart and green innovations. error and provide new revenue and Advanced energy management value-adding opportunities. Dig- and fleet performance systems italization leads to more efficient reduce emissions and increase fuel operations, user friendliness and savings. effective, streamlined services. This top-notch technology is Now the maritime industry stands chosen for some of the most to benefit from the already proven demanding vessels today, ones that digital success stories in other embrace digitalization for peak land-based industries. task performance. For example, 60% of all the world’s largest SAFE AT SEA luxury cruise ships are designed in Finland and one third were built The world’s first autonomous and by Finnish shipyards. These sleek remotely controlled ferry journeyed and spectacular vessels have the from Turku to an archipelago island technology to allow them to sail into in Finland in December 2018. Two waters with strict emission limits Finnish companies developed or journey into fragile ecosystem the technology to allow the ferry areas. to show the way for the future of autonomous vessels. Finland has also designed about 80% of all icebreakers in the world, This smart technology increases with nearly two thirds of them being safety and makes the shipping built by Finnish shipyards. Each business more economically viable. Finnish icebreaker is known for its Digital connections allow the ship sustainable technology, enabling it to be steered from a land-based to work with maximum efficiency control room, while a captain and operational capability, can take over under demanding without harming its eco-sensitive circumstances. surroundings. 7 IN THIS BROCHURE, YOU CAN DIVE DEEP INTO THE SEA OF SMART FINNISH MARITIME TECH- NOLOGIES AND SOLUTIONS – AND THE COMPANIES THAT PROVIDE THEM. 8 RESEARCH AND EDUCATION 9 10 CYBERSECURITY Tampere University – We research security and trust management, secure ship networks with advanced along with privacy, detection cybersecurity protection for and the mitigation of intentional future smart ships, going beyond interference of satellite navigation traditional endpoint protection. signals.
