Abstract
The Internet of Things technology solutions are gaining importance in shipbuilding industry to improve transparency, safety, and cost efficiency by optimising procedures, maintenance and energy efficiency. The marine surveying infrastructure transformation through IoT technologies is expected to enable the shipping industry, port authorities or environmental agencies, to inspect shipping assets, offshore structures, waterways and ensure compliance with various standards or specifications. The SMARTSEA approach presented in this paper aims at qualifying students and professionals for working in modern smart maritime and surveying industry. A further objective is stimulating transversal competences such as the increased sense of initiative and entrepreneurship. An original programme for piloting and validating the programme across Europe is also presented.
