AI Disruption in chartering

At this seminar, Agnieszka Nowinska, PhD, and Gisele Msann, PhD from Aalborg University Business School present findings from their research on AI adoption in chartering activities by Danish drybulk and tank companies. Their study highlights a relatively high uptake of AI in Denmark compared to broader industry mappings and identifies specific chartering tasks where AI is applied, either individually or in combination.

Following the presentation, a panel debate with experts from across the maritime sector explores business models for AI adoption, including in-house development, outsourcing, or hybrid approaches.
