Smart Cabin – passenger adapted

• Utilising “big data” to provide the passengers with relevant information and the possibility to tailor their stay to their preferences

• Collecting and analysing passenger behaviour Providing “instantly” adapted features for the customers

• Utilisation of what normally considered waste

• Improved freezing technology

• Technology from fish farms

• More environment friendly

• Improved product quality

Innovation and collaboration in the future

• Data utilisation from sensors and equipment

• Internet of Things

• Big Data - analytics

Examples:

• Optimisation of hull forms based on collected data from existing vessels

• Improved versions of equipment based on sensor data from what’s in use

• Preventive maintenance/replacement of equipment taken to new levels

Innovation and collaboration in the future

• Maybe we will collaborate more with the ships themselves than with the persons owning and operating the ships?

• For passenger vessel it will be essential to know the behaviour of the passengers in order to provide them with the best possible experience on board
