Shipping is entering a brave new era with ever accelerating advances in big data, artificial intelligence, smart ships, robotics and automation. But the future of shipping perhaps lies with older techniques.

We reached out to experts in maritime tech innovation and seafarer wellbeing to get some insight into how the industry feels about wearable tech as it relates to employee performance.
