E-navigation can offer enhanced safety, better environmental protection, improved traffic management and commercial benefits; and both the technological advances and the advantages they can bring are continuing to evolve. That was the message from IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim in his keynote speech to the International E-Navigation Underway conference today (2 February). Organized by IALA and the Danish Maritime Authority, the event was, fittingly, held aboard a passenger ferry, at sea.
