Workshop celebrates the opening of the new Marine and Maritime group within the Data-Centric Engineering programme at The Alan Turing Institute

To celebrate the opening of the new Marine and Maritime group within the Data-Centric Engineering programme at The Alan Turing Institute, Yikun Wang, Gabe Weymouth and Adam Sobey organised a workshop. It brought together around 50 participants from across the marine industry, including Shipping, Classification Societies, Leisure Craft, Oil and Gas, Academia, Renewables and Defence. The workshops’ aim was to understand how AI and Data Analytics are currently used across the diverse marine industry and how these approaches will change the industry in the coming decades.

From the workshop the Marine and Maritime group will create a vision for AI within the marine industry, understanding what research is ready to be applied into industry immediately and where there are current gaps. Using this roadmap the group aims to form a conduit between the UK research community in AI and Data Analytics and the marine industry, helping the effective uptake of these methods into our industry.

We invite you, or any industry partners, who want to contribute to this vision or who want to get more involved in the activities at The Alan Turing Institute, to contact us via email.

The event was funded from an Impact Acceleration Account developing a Digital Twin for Lloyd’s Register in partnership with Shell Shipping and Maritime led by Yikun Wang. The Data-Centric Engineering group is supported by the Lloyd’s Register Foundation.
