Hello there! Welcome back to another week of tech insights and digital news. For this article, we’re exploring the everyday challenges IT departments in maritime face. From troubleshooting everyday issues to implementing complex mergers and digital transformation plans - their work is never done.
This week, I caught up with David Edwards, Head of Information Technology at Navigator Gas. Having transitioned from the Oil & Gas industry to maritime 3 years ago, David was thrown straight in at the deep end with the complex task of overseeing the combination of digital infrastructure after the merger of shipping companies.
