Digital maturity assessment for the shipping industry

Evaluate your organization’s readiness for the maritime digital transformation and lay the foundation for data value creation.

The maritime industry struggles to gain the benefits from investments made in their digital transformation. This is due to challenges in planning and implementation, as well as in managing the process. 

Get to know your maritime business’ digital readiness

Gaining an overview of digital maturity and assessing its way of working requires insight into the company’s organization, its processes and relevant digital technology. At DNV, we have developed a framework to assess the digital maturity of maritime companies. We combine interviews with key internal stakeholders and our domain expertise to assess the digital maturity of your organization. 

The results provide key insights for the development of a comprehensive action plan and assist business units in the work that will be required to meet your digital strategy.

What is digital maturity in the maritime industry?

As in other industries, digital maturity is a term used to describe to what extent an organization has integrated digital technologies, data and digital processes into its operations, culture and strategy.  

In shipping, many business units are involved and dependent on each other. Research has shown that 80% of digital transformation initiatives do not achieve their goals. The major reason is that business leaders start their transformation journey without knowing their company’s status in terms of digital capabilities. Investments are made in digital initiatives without knowing the baseline and potential for value creation.
