Maritime@TSE conducts research together with the maritime ecosystem sharing an aim to provide blueprints towards digitalisation and service innovations. For the longer term, the mission is to prepare Finnish maritime industry towards autonomous traffic and business.
Maritime transport has been a catalyst for economic development and prosperity throughout its history. It enables trade and contacts between nearly all nations. It ensures the security of supply of energy, food and commodities and provides the main vehicle globally for imports and exports, as 90% of freight trade is seaborne.
Digitalisation and increased levels of autonomy in transport are expected to take leaps forward in the coming years. This development can help in creating more efficient and reliable service chains to meet the requirements for a better quality of life and global prosperity.
The mission of the Maritime@TSE research is to create internationally reproducible models for the digitization, service innovation of maritime transport and port activities. Research activities are carried out in collaboration with various actors in maritime industry.
