Let's check some of the advantages of information exchange in the maritime industry.
• Greater safety of ships
An efficient information exchange system provides for better ship coordination and, as a result, increased ship safety. In a marine mishap, this efficient system will allow for speedy information transmission, allowing rescuers to reach the stranded ship sooner.
An information exchange system may be extremely useful in the event of a marine mishap, such as a ship grounding or a pirate raid, where it becomes difficult for a ship to communicate on its own.
• Better coordination
Information interchange provides for greater ship coordination, which is required regardless of the ship's mission. Because of the importance of coordination in the maritime sector, more efforts are being made to exchange information systems that allow for improved cooperation.
The Virtual Regional Maritime Traffic Center, the Maritime Safety and Security Information System, Long Range Identification and Tracking, and the Regional Co-operation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery are components of such a system. A system like this enables collaboration in every scenario, from arranging a transit across a confined zone to repelling a pirate raid.
• Improved trade
An improved information-sharing system would broaden the scope of international commerce. The shared information here might include cargo data about ships departing from different ports, connected ship schedules, and so on, allowing ships to interact more effectively for trade to improve.
