UK Marine Industries Roadmap & Capability Study

Workshop A: Marine-related services & ICT, 20 Sept 2011

Marine Industries Roadmap & Capability Study

Dominic Oughton do251@cam.ac.uk IfM

Executive Summary
This report results from a one-day workshop to assist the Technology Strategy Board, BIS, UK
Marine Industries Alliance and the Transport KTN to develop a roadmap to identify future priority
opportunities and capability needs for the UK Marine Industries. The workshop was the first of
five Deep Dive explorations of the sector, focussing on Marine Services and ICT. The workshop
took place at the Southampton University Technology on 20 September 2011, with input from
over 20 experts drawn from across the Marine Industry, academia and other stakeholders. The
workshop took a sub-set of the landscape roadmap, developed in June 2011, which was then
developed further to identify priority trends & drivers and then to identify and characterise
around 30 Market Opportunities in Marine Services & ICT.
Participants contributed before the workshop by providing their perspectives in a roadmap
template identifying priority Drivers, Opportunities, Capabilities and Enablers in the Short,
Medium and Long timeframes. These were consolidated ahead of the workshop to provide a start
point to which further issues were added and priorities identified. The most important market
opportunities were then highlighted, where UK capability could deliver against major global
market needs. These assessments were based on defined criteria for Value (global & UK market,
competitive strength, added value and impact on societal and environmental challenges) and
Capability (in the marine industry, academia, research organisations and from adjacent industries
see Appendix C for details.)
In prioritising relevant Trends & Drivers (see section 1), there was a strong emphasis on security
and safety, the changing nature of military threat and consequent needs for marine surveillance;
Climate change figured strongly in relation to adaption (eg to rising sea levels), mitigation
(through renewables and greater efficiencies) and as a driver for the Green Economy;
availability of new technologies for CAE, simulation and modelling, ICT, positioning and integrated
transport were all identified as important components of a solution to these challenges, whilst
changing demographics, consumer demands and the challenging cost environment were also
important.

Executive Summary (continued)

Priority Opportunities (see section 4) were identified across a range of services and ICT areas,
with a significant overlap emerging for knowledge-based services. The leading opportunities
included: Maritime consulting; Ship management systems: I-ship; Training and education
(including virtual training); In-service support of military and civilian vessels; Marine ICT &
Information infrastructure; Decision Support Systems; Marine & Coastal environmental services;
Design Services for "Green shipping" technologies; Emergency response systems (eg to natural
disasters, terrorism, piracy); Recycling / Re-purposing / Decommissioning of ships, platforms, oil
rigs etc.; Insurance; and Certification, Testing & Classification.
Of these, the first seven were explored in more detail to characterise the market value and
identify relevant sources of UK capability for delivery (and potential gaps that will need to be
filled see section 7)
In support of these opportunities, a wide range of capabilities were identified from within the
Marine Industries but also in academia and research organisations. The most relevant areas of
capability to support these market opportunities were in Design & Development; Information,
Communication & Control; and Life-cycle technologies. Specifically important capabilities
included: Simulation & modelling; Life-cycle analysis; Sub-sea technology; Naval architecture;
Data management; Sensors, measurement and monitoring technology; Human factors; and
Decision support systems.
The workshop also identified other key enablers for success, underpinning these capabilities as:
Skills availability; Funding & investment; Understanding Customer / Owner / Operator needs;
Open architectures; Safety legislation; Business Model Innovation; Environmental Regulation; and
Training & Education
