Seminar on Digital shipping and Advanced UI’s
What are the latest advancements concerning digitalization of shipping and advanced user interfaces? How can companies ensure the reliability and safety of autonomous and remotely operated systems? The seminar is joint effort between ARPA project and MAST! Institute.
The ARPA project (Applied Research Platform for Autonomous Systems) https://arpa-project.turkuamk.fi/ focuses on building a novel research platform that provides consistent information to developers, researchers, and authorities alike.
The objective of the MAST! Institute www.mastinstitute.fi is to combine expertise of Novia’s Maritime Academy and Åbo Akademi University’s Information Technology department with aim to enhance multidisciplinary research and improve the maritime digitalization and autonomous shipping competence in Turku region.
In this seminar, international keynote speakers from industry and research will describe the latest advancements within autonomous test vessels and next generation user interface solutions. In addition, the project partners Turku University of Applied Sciences, Novia University of Applied Sciences will present project results with practical state-of-the-art demonstrations.

12:30 Session 2: Next generation user interface solutions
The session will showcase next generation user interface solutions designed for maritime and for certified virtual training in the technology industry. Speakers invited to this session have extensive experience in establishing virtual training centers and/or utilizing the latest XR technologies to develop UI innovations. This session opens new perspectives for the audience why digitalization will be widely applied in the next generation training and what needs the speakers have identified based on their first experiences. Likewise, the session presents the audience from maritime to the technology industry with insights on how to develop user interface solutions that are designed considering the aspects of usability, user experience as well as efficiency. Finally, our session also envisions how metaverse technologies will be utilized in the maritime and technology industry in the near future.
