Analysis of future marine information system based on cloud computing

Marine Information System provides ship-owners, ship companies, port authorities and other related organizations with real time marine information. However such information cannot be accessed by external users due to marine information system design. As a result we analyze a novel marine information system based on cloud computing to improve traditional system, to bridge the gap between different marine information systems. This paper looks at the advances in the cloud computing applications to enable public and private agencies with real-time marine monitoring information to address some of the issues hampering progress in the maritime environment.
