Who is Digital Ship?

Digital Ship is the commercial maritime world’s authority on all aspects of information technology and innovation, including satellite communications, software, navigation, vessel efficiency, cyber security, big data and analytics.

Established in August 2000, Digital Ship provides news and information covering the commercial shipping sector, focusing on innovation and developments in information technology and maritime communications. Breaking news updates, shared on our website and via our social media, are supplemented by a print magazine, and a weekly e-mail newsletter, which includes further in-depth analysis and features on issues affecting this sector.

In addition to our news and features, Digital Ship organises a global series of conferences in the world’s major shipping centres where industry stakeholders can meet to learn about and discuss technology developments and the issues and trends affecting the maritime IT sector. These include conferences, exhibitions and the now renowned Maritime CIO Forums.

A well organised event from start to finish, which attracted leaders from across the shipping industry. The event included insights from companies throughout the global maritime supply chain and was great value for all that attended. We look forward for the next Digital Ship Event!” Jordan Wylie, Be Cyber Aware at Sea
