Shipping, the world's oldest and most enduring sharing economy, operates in a self-organizing manner. It is a capital, energy, and information-intensive sector, and its operations are increasingly influenced by digitalization and climate change. Recognizing the need for a fresh perspective on the management and operations of this vital global industry, this book builds upon the recently published inaugural book, Maritime Informatics, by Springer.

The book will delve into the latest practical developments and experiences, particularly from a global perspective. Its primary objective is to address contemporary movements aimed at addressing global concerns, while also complementing the field of Maritime Informatics.

Shipping is a complex and multifaceted industry that encompasses a wide range of activities, including transportation, logistics, and supply chain management. It plays a critical role.role in connecting countries and regions, facilitating trade and commerce, and promoting economic growth. However, the industry also faces numerous challenges, such as environmental sustainability, piracy, and security threats.

Maritime Informatics, as a field of study, is dedicated to leveraging technology and data to improve the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of shipping operations. It involves the use of advanced sensors, satellite imagery, and machine learning algorithms to optimize vessel routing, reduce fuel consumption, and minimize the environmental impact of shipping.

The book will explore various aspects of Maritime Informatics, including:

• The role of digitalization in shaping the future of shipping
• The impact of climate change on shipping operations
• The use of maritime informatics to improve safety and security
• The application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in shipping
• The development of new technologies and innovations in shipping
• The challenges and opportunities in implementing maritime informatics
• The case studies and examples of successful maritime informatics implementations

By examining these topics, the book aims to provide valuable insights and practical guidance for professionals and researchers in the shipping industry, as well as policymakers and stakeholders interested in promoting sustainable and efficient shipping practices.

In conclusion, Shipping is a vital global industry that requires innovative solutions to address contemporary challenges. Maritime Informatics, as a field of study, plays a crucial role in leveraging technology and data to improve the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of shipping operations. This book, by building upon the foundational work of Maritime Informatics, aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on the latest developments and experiences in the field.
