MFA-2101 Maritime Data Analytics - 10 stp

This course content is aimed to give the necessary skills for handling data in the maritime sector. This will give solid understanding in how collected data should be handled and analysed with emphasis on the following topics:

• vessel IoTs and data collecting platforms
• data collection and storage onboard and onshore storage communication and storage facilities.
• different techniques for preprocessing, data cleaning, merging and transforming data sets will be treated.
• identification of data anomalies and recovering such data anomalies
• techniques for exploratory data analytics and visualization.
• utilization of big data in ship emission reduction and energy efficiency applications.
• concepts of Big Data handling, architecture and technologies and knowledge of it impact on the maritime sector
