Developing adnamic-based maritime analytics dashboard using power business intelligence tools

Abstract

Abstract The effective and economic optimisation of the maritime transportation take significant place among all studied topics in the literature. Big data has the potential to create new opportunities to drive innovation and deliver tangible operational efficiencies across the shipping world. The usage of big data analysis is to help the maritime industry understand the opportunities it can offer. Numerous information technology and information systems solutions were developed to enhance the knowledge of the functionalities of different maritime operations and activities. Thus, various applications, platforms, and technologies are used. The literature highlights that there are still key challenges facing big data applications in the maritime industry. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to develop a dynamic-based maritime analytical dashboard using business intelligence (BI). It aims to provide very comprehensive functionalities for creating reports for better understanding of the maritime data. The main outcome is to provide an interactive visualized Maritime Analytic Dashboard (MAD) analysing large amounts of data and producing meaningful reports to port managers. A set of variables have been considered to present a comprehensive dashboard. As a further research, cyber threats and risks can be considered in the future developed dashboards.
