 FUTURE OF NAVIGATION 


WRITTEN BY - ADITYA JADHAV (22584)





  • It is no doubt to say that shipping underpins the global supply chain. 90% of everything travels via ship. But it is also a sector that is grappling with the need to decarbonize, digitalize and innovate as it looks to the future.

  • This will allow seafarers to optimize their passage planning, voyages and port calls, helping to minimize costs, fuel consumption and emissions. 

  • If we don’t act, shipping will be responsible for 11% of all manmade emissions by 2050.

  • The shipping industry is currently undergoing a digital transformation, with Artificial Intelligence (AI).

  • For example, Rolls-Royce has developed an AI-powered predictive maintenance system that uses data from sensors on ships to predict when equipment will need to be serviced or replaced (Rolls-Royce, 2019).



  • BNWAS (Bridge Navigation Watch and Alarm System) is another important automated system used on ships. The mechanism emits a nasty sound every 3, 9 or 12 minutes until the necessary button is pressed.

  • This acoustic system is necessary on ships with a fully enclosed bridge. It allows the navigating officer inside the cabin to hear external signals of ships, coastal stations and other objects.

  • Augmented Reality in the maritime industry draws a graphical representation of the front view of a boat/vessel, on a screen by adding extra elements.

  • Electric and self-propelled fully autonomous container ships are being assessed and getting ready for commercial shipping with very few to no crew members on board. Significantly less carbon emission and replacing thousands of trips of trucks per year, this new navigation trend is rapidly gaining power.

  • In conclusion, while there are plenty of legal and financial hurdles at present the progress made in the autonomous shipping sector is phenomenal. While there is a long way to go unmanned vessels will soon become everyday reality much like autonomous cars.

Movie Review (THE FINEST HOURS)By :- Cdt Jay Boda (22578) Blog 2

  The Finest Hours Summary: "The Finest Hours" is a perfect example of the incredible, brave, and unselfish acts belonging to the brave guardians of the sea, the US Coast Guard that enabled the rescue on the 6th of February, 1952.  The event which sets things in motion takes place when an oil tanker, the SS Pendleton, is split in two by an intense nor'easter off the coast of Cape Cod; Bernie Webber and his crew set off on an unpredictable adventure to save the sailors who are stranded on a wrecked vessel.  Going on with the blocked positions and unlimited oppositions, this about not giving up and having a heroic spirit, in spite of mismatches and injustice. My Learnings After "The Finest Hours" was over, I realized what awe requires the humanity to expose this way in dire straits to the people around. They help each other to survive.  It brings the topic of bravery, team building and selfless behavior back to the attention when the human physique is encased betw...
