Technological innovation, often disruptive of the structures in the various sectors, is now a constant in all areas of society and economy. The maritime sector is no exception. The request for greater system resilience in the presence of events that reduce the possibility of physical human intervention constitutes an additional driver in the search for new solutions.
This session explores the analysis of available and developing technologies, their impact, and presents application case histories promoted by leading companies in the sector.
