An engine sensor can now flag a failing part weeks before it actually breaks down — that early warning is the practical promise behind Maritime IoT. The Connected Vessels and Smart Port Technology Training Course by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy gives professionals practical knowledge of implementing IoT technologies across modern shipping and port environments, built around exactly this kind of operational payoff rather than abstract technology theory.

Delivered within Shipping, Maritime and Ports Training Courses under the Management category, the programme covers sensors, vessel monitoring, smart ports, and predictive maintenance together. Participants learn how IoT solutions enhance fleet management, optimise port activities, improve asset performance, and enable data-driven operational strategies for shipping organisations.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain the principles and applications of Maritime IoT in shipping and port operations.
• Use sensors for real-time maritime data collection and vessel monitoring.
• Build IoT-enabled smart ports and connected infrastructure.
• Apply predictive maintenance strategies using IoT-generated data.
• Improve operational visibility, efficiency, and decision-making through connected technologies.
