ORS QUARTERLY UPDATES FROM SAFE LANES SAFE LANES ‘April 2023 J issue 04 Ace Lhe LL SIMPLY DIGITAL OR DIGITALLY SIMPLER? “Almost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design, ‘manufacturing, layout, processes and procedures.” Tom Peters ‘As humans, we are hardwired to impress others. Over the years, complexity has been associated with intelligence and simplicity has been thrown out for its, well, simplicity! Our seamless endeavours to be perceived as better than others have landed usin a place of extreme confusion and chaos, where we find our own thoughts to be difficult and incomprehensible But is that true? Is complexity the real marker of intelligence? Or is simplification the true indication of it? From where we are at, what is tougher and more challenging is in fact simplification. Although crucial for flawless execution of meticulously drafted procedures, it is the most difficult to achieve, Wondering why it works despite the effortrequired? Easy. Simplification is inclusive. It offers a broader range of understanding and facilitates enhanced understanding, superior execution. Simplification aims at Let’s look at the something relevant, say digitalisation. For past several years, maritime industry has been slowly and steadily undergoing a digital make-over. However, this change is not limited to the mere introduction of technological wonders. For the efforts of digitalization to truly bear fruits, we must come together as an industry and incorporate the principle of simplification in our everyday process. The simpler the processes, the better would be the results! BECO ncaa re Carbon Emission is a serious concern engulfing the maritime industry. For years, there have been efforts on technological fronts to control it. What can be considered a Positive step in this direction, Eastern Pacific Shipping reports to have completed the installation of a filtering and carbon capture technology developed by Dutch start-up Value Marine. Ce tT Although biofuels have the potential to be an economically viable fuel for the maritime industry, the cost involved in the assessment of technical compatibility as well as availability remain to be the primary barriers to biofuel adoption, says Michael D. Kass, PhD, of the Energy Science & Technology Directorate. FSRU Faces Obstruction Greenpeace, a global campaigning network has stepped in to support the City of Piombino, Italy and the World Wildlife Federation in their efforts to block the installation of a FSRU at the Piombino's seaport citing the potential harm to the marine ecosystem.

Well, you are not alone. Before we head to the topic of how digitalization impacts operations in the modern day maritime industry, let's first familiarize ourselves with the difference between these two terms. Digitization refers to the act of making analog information digital, digitalization is all about moving existing processes into digital technologies. In the recent years, maritime sector has been undergoing a significant technological change to increase competitiveness and to achieve higher operational efficiency. However, to reap the benefits ofthis changing trends, having a strong strategy is essential. In this article, we will explore the elements involved in this process.

During these past three years, the maritime industry has seen some technological marvels unfold and this is just the beginning, Let's take a look at a few of these impressive advancements: OPTIMIZED ASSET MANAGEMENT WITH PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE: Traditionally, asset management and maintenance has been known for being time consuming process, with extreme dependency on third party resources. introduction of Digital Twin (a representation of a physical entity or framework in a digital format, it has become easier to keep a track of the vessel's performance, in real time. NAVIGATING THE FUTURE OF UNMANNED ASSETS Technology has taken over all aspects of life. Transportation is no exception. After the successful autonomous navigation of a large ferry in Japan, Suzaka, a 749 Gross ton vessel covered a distance of approximately 500 miles, between Tokyo Bay to Ise Bay earlier in May 2022. ‘An era fuelled by technology most certainly looks promising. PREDICTED AREAS FOR FURTHER TECHNOLOGICAL INTEGRATION: After remote navigation audits, VDR Analysis etc, the sector is looking forward to enjoying the same privilege as of the rest of the world, remote working! These areas are: Remoteinspections Predictive Maintenance Partially, as an industry, we are already there and despite challenges, this is something that brings us ll together as one.Views from the Safe Lanes After two decades into the 21” century, we are standing at the brink of a world that is vastly digitalized. With the globe virtually shrinking everyday, language is bound to play an even more important role in the near future. To facilitate smooth exchange of ideas, simplification of language has become aneed. Capt. Sahil Puri, Director - Quality and Innovation believes that the first marker of assessing whether or not a person has understood the concept of simplification is by assessing the language they use to communicate with their team members. He goes on to further elaborate the need for simplification, the ways to achieve it and how both, an individual and the organization, benefit by inculcating the culture of simplification He says, “in my experience and opinion simplification is harder than What we estimate it to be. Let's take the example of self-help books, why are they so popular? Honestly, they are simple. Easy to understand and implement.

It disowns the weakest link in the chain Imagine awork-floor where there are numerous procedures and an ancient rule book guiding people through those procedures. The language of the rule book, let's callita manual, is highly theoretical and archaic. Rather than helping, it overwhelms the reader. Wondering what happens when people from various teams refer to it? Difficulty to understand results in multiple interpretations from the same source. This saga of misinterpretation begins, ultimately leading to reduced efficiency, increased errors and overall, a loss-making system.” He believes integration of simplified language with the advantage of digitalization is the ultimate key to increased efficiency, better work environment, happier workforce and most importantly, sustainable procedures.
