Back to news

Ardmore Shipping is pleased to announce it has joined the Smart Maritime Council, supporting our commitment to innovation, data-driven decision-making, and sustainable shipping operations.

Having integrated the use of artificial intelligence into our operational strategy, we aim to leverage our experience to benefit the Council. Our deployment of AI-powered tools for voyage and vessel performance optimization has already delivered significant commercial and environmental results.

We are also looking beyond the adoption of standalone systems to instead explore how a suite of digital tools can be integrated across ship and shore to unlock end-to-end performance improvements.

We see operational data standardization as a key enabler of future technologies. Actively participating on the council will enable us to assist in the guidance of the standards, as well as provide visibility of the evolving digital offerings within the industry.

By joining the Smart Maritime Council, Ardmore aims to contribute its practical experience and forward-looking mindset to industry-wide discussions around technology integration and standardization.

“We look forward to contributing Ardmore’s perspective for the shared benefit of all members,” stated Garry Noonan, Director of Innovation at Ardmore Shipping, “Digitalization and decarbonization go hand in hand and by working together through the Council, we can drive performance and progress on both fronts in ways that benefits the entire shipping industry”

The Smart Maritime Council brings together stakeholders across the maritime supply chain to promote collaboration, interoperability, and the development of practical digital standards. Ardmore’s involvement reflects our belief that meaningful progress comes from open dialogue, aligned frameworks, and shared ambition.
