Integration of AI in ship operations. Opening by Peter Blach, Maskinmestrenes Forening and Frederik Berthelsen, DFDS
views
We will explore how the maritime industry can use artificial intelligence (AI) and automation to optimize efficiency in ship operations
From autonomous navigation to predictive maintenance, AI is transforming shipping operations into smarter, safer, and more efficient processes optimizing route planning, fuel consumption, and vessel performance.
Learn more about how AI-driven insights can enhance decision-making and reduce operational costs. You will have an opportunity to engage with other industry leaders and AI pioneers sharing their strategies for seamless technology integration.
Also during the breaks and during the conference you can address other affiliated critical challenges like cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and workforce adaptation in this AI-powered era. AI has the potential to shape the future of shipping. Don’t miss the opportunity to navigate the next wave of innovation!

18:00 - 18:30 Break
18:30 - 19:00 How are data and AI transforming vessel operations?
by Kay Dausenschôn, Head of Products and Managing Director Wärtsilâ
Machine Learning and AI have already been part of tools and applications used in shipping and the maritime industry for several years. Learn how technology has provided tangible value in areas like voyage optimization, digital twins, consumption modelling, condition monitoring, performance tracking and decision support. Learn also what the next frontiers will be where AI can transform our business.”
19:00 - 19:30 AI and skills in a technical ocean
by Jakob Langkjær and Niels Haastrup, Fredericia Maskinmester Skole (FMS)
We can get AI to analyze, process, report and react to data, but how can users gain a better understanding of the abstract nature of AI algorithms? Case examples from the maritime industry are given, for example on how the
AI alarm system can be made, not to overburden the crew with messages.
