- Teja Boncheruvu

Marine and shipping industry is widely regarded as a work-horse of the world economy connecting people across the world for the transport of goods at scale to meet the needs of fast-growing world’s population. According to the International Chamber of Shipping, the shipping industry is responsible for the carriage of 90 percent of the world trade providing efficient and cheapest means of transportation for heavy cargo. Considering the population growth and economic development of the people across the world, the demand for technologically advanced maritime transport and cruise ships will continue to increase like never before. Over the past few years, technology has been reshaping the marine and shipping industry but its profound impact is yet to be experienced.

Technology has brought about a fundamental change in the ship design, building, and maintenance in terms of substantial cost and time reductions and improved robustness, navigation, safety, and communication. Recent technological advancements in the marine engineering have completely transformed the cruise landscape and have led to the emergence of Mega Cruise Ships with unbelievable on-boarding experiences, out-sizing the conventional models. The Freedom Ship, an incredible and self-sufficient floating city with a design length of 4,500 feet, a width of 750 feet, and a height of 350 feet is the finest example of technological marvels till date. Kanethara Marine Solutions has been working closely with Freedom Cruiseline International, a renowned concept developer of the ‘City at Sea’ on the design and construction of Freedom Ship to turn the idea of the world’s largest vessel ever built in the history of mankind into a reality.
