Rise in trend of connectivity solutions
Fleet smartphones have changed the definition of connectivity over time. People wish to stay connected with the outer world even while travelling. Now that connectivity has become the need of the hour, automobile manufacturers are adopting connectivity solutions in ships to boost their transportation sales. Consumers are expecting their vessels to perform tasks similar to computers and smart phones. Adding connectivity solutions in ships has become the top most priority for marine product manufacturers. Many connectivity solutions are integrated in modern ships that need internet services to perform their respective functions. Connectivity can be provided in a vessel using embedded, integrated, or tethered connectivity solutions. The transportation industry is witnessing a phase of digital revolution. For instance, companies such as Sentinel Marine solutions, Go Free Marine, Boat Command, and others have started offering mobile supported monitoring systems for vessel to track real time activities. Therefore, the marine telematics market is expected to grow at a promising rate due to the rise in customer demands for staying connected 24*7.
High integration cost
Telematic systems are extremely costly to integrate and repair in case of a failure. They add extra weight and acquire more space in ships. They also require regular upgradation, in terms of software. The additional costs incurred while providing connectivity in vessels is expected to restrict the growth of the marine telematics market. Connectivity solutions in ships incurs additional expenses to consumers in the form of hardware, connectivity solutions, and telecom service charges. These additional costs bestowed upon the consumer have a significant impact on the marine telematics market. Thus, high installation cost is expected to hinder the market.
Lack of uninterrupted and seamless internet connectivity
The main objective of marine telematics is to provide wireless voice and data communication systems for vessel tracking, emergency aid activation, system monitoring, and other applications. The satellite range may be interrupted due to internet connectivity in some areas. Weak connectivity for solutions of telematics restrict the growth of the marine telematics segment as it fails to offer a seamless internet service. This occurs mostly due to inconsistency in network offered by service providers, which varies for different regions. Thus, acts as a restrain for the market growth.
Anticipated trend of automation in marine transportation
The steps taken toward automation and use of advance technologies such AI and IoT for demonstration of marine telematics bring various countries together to develop automated vessels for ships, which eventually leads to the growth of telematic services in different regions. For instance, Navis started offering telematics solutions named as Bluetracker One, Bluetracker Automatic and Bluetracker Reporting for real time vessel performance management. In addition, Market Spectrum, Inc also started the use of remote analytics tools for vessel monitoring which includes VTracker Insight X2, Nevata, XPulse, and others. Furthermore, introduction of autonomous marine technology inmarine transportation is expected to eventually lead to the growth of the marine telematics market in the near future.
Better driver and vessel safety
Real-time monitoring, geofencing, and diagnostic features are incorporated in marine transport, due to increase in demand for fleet safety and security in transportation of goods through commercial vessels. According to telematics service providers, telematics in ships is expected to grow rapidly in developing nations. Asia-Pacific has witnessed strong adoption of solutions such as installation of Global Positioning System (GPS) in commercial vessels, due to regulatory mandates. Tracking and follow-up of fleet and drivers are the major tasks of a fleet operational manager. Number of accidents have increased at a considerable rate, which has become a crucial matter to be handled by fleet owners. Moreover, safety and security of both driver and vehicle has always been crucial from the perspective of consumers as well as ship manufacturers. In case of accidents, these monitoring solutions can send an SOS message along with the coordinates of driver’s location. Therefore, increase in need for safety and security is expected to boost the growth of the marine telematics market.
