OneLink Performance believes the widespread adoption of Al-driven autonomous decision support systems that integrate multi-source data, including weather, vessel condition and port logistics, will be the next big step for the industry.

Enhanced digital twins of vessels will enable real-time simulation, condition based monitoring and predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and extending asset life cycles. Furthermore, blockchain-enabled secure data sharing will revolutionise transparency and compliance across the maritime supply chain, says Mr. Sharma.
