Generations

A publication of ABB Marine and Ports 

Shipping 4.0: Navigating the 4th industrial revolution


Electrification, digitalisation, and connectivity are converging on the maritime industry in a powerful combination destined to transform the way we move people and things on the water.

We are proud to introduce the 2017 issue of Generations from ABB, addressing themes central to a maritime industry in transition: power, technology, regulations, and people, with separate chapters dedicated to the future of ports and technical insight. Also new are reports from two roundtable sessions, where senior ABB staff met with leading maritime journalists to discuss the power of the future, and how the increased autonomy will impact the people in the picture. Throughout this issue, industry leaders and ABB’s own experts share their thoughts on navigating the 4th industrial revolution, where virtually every aspect of business is being transformed by electrification, digitalisation, and connectivity.

Welcome to Shipping 4.0!
