Marine onboard communication systems facilitates internal communication among crew members and external communication with other ships, ports, and maritime traffic control. Onboard communication systems encompass a range of technologies, including very high frequency (VHF) radios, satellite communications, and internet protocols designed to function optimally in the unique marine environment. Marine onboard control systems are sophisticated computer-based platforms that manage various operational aspects of a vessel. These systems oversee the engine controls, power distribution, ballast water management, and cargo handling. Expanding navy operations and marine trade activities and growing awareness about maritime safety among ship operators have propelled the demand for marine onboard communication and control systems. Rising defense budgets globally for upgrading naval communication and control capabilities influence the market positively. However, there are complexities involved in the integration of new control and communication systems with existing architecture. Additionally, the threat of data breaches and cyber-attacks and the chances of compromising privacy raise concerns about the reliability, accuracy, and safety of these systems. However, key players are investing in robust security features to protect against cyber threats. Furthermore, the integration of advanced AI/ML algorithms, data analytics technologies, and real-time monitoring capacities can expand the reach and adoption of these systems.
