As the pioneer and foremost exponent of data-driven decision-making in the maritime industry, Bahri has created a dedicated Big Data platform – called BahriData – as part of its efforts to improve its operating performance and drive data innovation within the global shipping industry, and has assembled a team of specialists to embed sustainable analytics into the fabric of the organization.
Bahri is also actively supporting the development of an ecosystem of partners from the maritime industry, academia and industry labs to drive data-driven advancements and enable their application in the shipping industry.
“Big Data is already playing a larger role in shaping the future of the maritime industry than previously imagined,” said Ibrahim Al Omar, CEO of Bahri. “By embracing analytics and turning data into actionable insights, shipping and logistics players have an opportunity to drive improved efficiency and quality. In the long run, this will help transform their organizations into smarter, more dynamic entities that have a more informed picture of market trends and demands and are better prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow.”

We have already seen how, by maintaining a sustained focus on Data Innovation, we are able to eliminate or mitigate many of the risks typically associated with the shipping industry, while gaining a clearer understanding of how the market is shaping up and how challenges can be turned into opportunities,” added Al Omar.
