Charting a course to 2050

摘要

The study investigated the way in which new technologies have been adopted in other industries, as well as examples of advanced technology implementation in the maritime industry worldwide. Considering the applicability of these technologies to the maritime industry then became the basis for discussing future ship technologies 30 years from now. For our project, we surveyed literature and interviewed relevant parties (universities, research institutions, manufacturers, etc.) to extract technologies that could be applied to ships in the future. We also analysed individual technologies from the viewpoint of feasibility/maturity and magnitude of impact. This led to a technology roadmap to organise short and medium-term R&D projects. We extracted noteworthy technologies (six fields, a total 116 cases) for future ships and analysed them.
