In this regard, Daniele Bottino spoke in depth about a topic that is also important in the maritime industry, digital transformation. Technology like artificial intelligence con provide a significant contribution in terms of efficiency and sustainability, but we need a regulatory framework to ensure that innovation is truly at the service of yachting and of safety.

NEW REGULATIONS

The digital transformation that we are currently undergoing, like the development of artificial intelligence – explains Daniele Bottino to Daily Nautica – can also help the yachting industry, especially in the field of sustainability and efficiency. As the industry is continuing to grow, it is very important to create a regulatory framework, so that everyone can best use these tools.”

Each classification society – adds the manager of the American Bureau of Shipping – develops their own regulations and activities. The American Bureau of Shipping is trying to help businesses to face the new challenges of digital transformation in both the commercial and pleasure maritime fields.”
