According to AI TIMES, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced a strategy on October 28 to apply AI across shipping, ports, fisheries, and the marine environment, and it will push ahead with securing core technologies for level 4 fully autonomous ships by 2032. It also set a goal of raising port productivity by 30% by 2035. The plan focuses on transforming the maritime and fisheries industries into a system in which ships and port equipment can perceive situations and make decisions on their own, going beyond simple task automation. In shipping, the ministry plans to expand AI use to safety and supply chain management, while in ports it will test an operating system that coordinates the sequence and flow of work among equipment. In fisheries and the marine environment, it outlined a direction to expand automation in production, resource management, monitoring, and forecasting to improve operational efficiency and responsiveness in the field. To support this, the government said it will also push ahead with data organization, training of specialists, and support for commercialization of related products and services.
Perspective
The significance of this strategy is that AI adoption in the maritime and fisheries sectors is moving beyond an analysis-support stage and into a phase that changes actual equipment and operating systems. If the goals are achieved, the basis of on-site competitiveness is likely to shift from personnel-centered operations to operating capabilities that combine data and autonomous systems. In the end, not only technology development but also verification, diffusion, and institutional reform must move together for the pace of transformation across the industry to be determined.
