Technological innovation has been shaping the naval industry and ports in an increasingly evident way. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the main tools that has enabled these changes and future trends. AI has been used to improve the efficiency and safety of ships and ports. For example, autonomous ships are being developed and tested to increase safety and reduce operational costs. They use sensors, cameras, and AI algorithms to navigate and avoid collisions. In addition, AI has also been used to optimize ship cargo and inventory management in ports. READ MORE • Types of Artificial Intelligence: what are they and how to use them?

Another emerging trend is the use of AI to monitor and improve sustainability in ports and the naval industry. For example, AI has been used to monitor air and water pollution, as well as to optimize the energy efficiency of ships. In addition, AI has also been used to develop alternative propulsion technologies, such as wind propulsion and hybrid propulsion. The naval industry has also benefited from the use of virtual reality and augmented reality. These technologies allow engineers and crew members to simulate emergency situations and train to handle them before they actually happen. Furthermore, they have also been used to improve efficiency and safety in cargo handling at ports.
