Technology and Human Judgment

Digitalization is transforming the shipping industry - but its true power lies in supporting human expertise. ​
 

Technology helps crews when navigating routes - it enables them to make smarter, safer, and more effective decisions. But how can digital tools empower human talent without overshadowing it?​
 

In this episode of Industry Optimized, host Fran Scott sits down with Jesper Lögdström, CEO of Oversea™, to explore real-world examples where digital platforms and expert insight work hand-in-hand in the maritime industry. 
 

Discover how shore-based experts and vessel crews collaborate, act on data, and drive safer, more efficient shipping - proving that technology is at its best when it supports human judgment, not substitutes it.
