With many shipowners, managers and service providers keen to access the power of big data the IoS-OP is a platform for data distribution and utilization under common rules.

The IoS-OP aims to create what ShipDC characterises as a “new maritime cluster for the digital age”. The IoS-OP will establish a cooperative domain where users will collect and safely store data at ShipDC and the data will be distributed under common rules agreed by the stakeholders.
