Abstract
This paper presents six industry-driven AI applications that support trustworthy decision-making
across the maritime value chain from ship design to operations. These use cases have been carefully
selected based on Norway’s strong domain expertise and demonstrate how AI can contribute to
greener, safer, and more efficient maritime solutions. In addition, the paper discusses key research
challenges related to maritime data and governance, relevant AI methods and models, the innovation
process, and the adoption of AI within the maritime industry.
