The digital revolution is transforming the world. Data is being generated, shared, stored, and analysed in amounts, and at speeds, that are increasing exponentially every year. Today, the data we create, access, and control is having an increasing impact both on how we live and on how industry performs.
It is therefore fortuitous that, even as the world became immersed in the COVID-19 pandemic, digitalisation in some key industries had progressed to the stage where digital information flows were driving the automation of processes and functions, and was therefore able to positively impact both safety and commercial performance. Jamaica’s maritime industry has embraced digitalisation and this is proving to be of immense value in keeping the supply chain open, even during the height of the pandemic.
