DIGITAL SHIP OSLO
12th March 2024
Thon Hotel Slottsparken

At Digital Ship Oslo on March 12 you can build your understanding of how the maritime industry of Norway is moving with digital technology. Digital Ship has run many events in Oslo, including at Nor-Shipping and annually from 2004 to 2015.

As you may expect, given Norway's troublesome neighbour to the East, there will be a high focus on cybersecurity. Lars Benjamin Vold, Managing Director, Norwegian Maritime Cyber Resilience Centre, will give an update on the maritime threat landscape. Dr. Per Håkon Meland is a senior research scientist at SINTEF Digital will present his own threat modelling and advise how shipping companies can do the same. Andreas Grefsrud, Consulting Director, Sopra Steria, and who has just left a post as head of cybersecurity at Torvald Klaveness, will explain different approaches to organizing your security function to best address and mitigate these risks.

Nils Haktor Bua, Head of New Maritime Technology at Norwegian Maritime Authority will provide the regulator's perspective on how he thinks the industry is evolving and needs to evolve with new maritime technology.

In the afternoon we’ll look at better ways digitalisation can support business processes. We commonly hear there is a gap between what shipping companies need to support their processes, and what the digital technology commonly in use today is able to provide.

We’ll start with a talk about better ways digital tools can help plan bunkering from Monjasa, followed by a talk from Star Information Systems about better ways software can help manage our assets and ensure maximum equipment availability.

Then we have a panel discussion about better ways to fill the gap between what shipping companies need to support their processes and the digital technologies commonly in use today, with panellists from Höegh Autoliners, Raa Labs, and Monjasa.
