The marine sector is a critical component of the global economy. Over 80% of the volume of the world's international trade is carried by sea. There is increasing interest from governments and corporations to transition from fossil fuel powered vessels to electric ships to reduce the carbon footprint.Globally, the Electric Ship Market is projected to grow from USD 4.9B in 2021 to USD 12.8B by 2030\. There is an urgent need for solutions to monitor and manage the operation of electric vessels. Reliable communication networks are a critical foundation for electrification of the marine sector.As of today, the communication technology used for near-shore vessels is cellular (4G/5G), while ocean-going vessels use satellite communications. Ensuring adequate coastal 5G coverage is a challenge that all governments and maritime operators will have to confront.Efforts are starting now in Singapore to deploy a coastal 5G network that will be fully implemented in 2025\.This project brings together unique expertise from companies in the energy management (Ampotech, Singapore) and network planning (Ranplan, UK) industries, together with leading academic experts developing new network optimisation technologies.The main outcomes of the project are: 1) An Internet of Thing gateway to collect electric vessel data, 2) fleet management software, 3) costal and vessel network planning software tools, and costal and vessel network optimisation solution powered by reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS).

海洋部门是全球经济的重要组成部分。世界80%以上的国际贸易量是通过海上运输的。政府和企业对从化石燃料船舶过渡到电动船舶以减少碳足迹的兴趣越来越大。从全球来看，电动船舶市场预计将从2021年的49亿美元增长到2030年的128亿美元。迫切需要解决方案来监测和管理电动船舶的运行。可靠的通信网络是海洋电气化的重要基础。目前，近岸船舶使用的通信技术是蜂窝(4G/5G)，而远洋船舶使用的是卫星通信。确保足够的沿海5G覆盖是所有政府和海事运营商都将面临的挑战。Efforts现在新加坡开始部署将于2025年全面实施的沿海5G网络。该项目汇集了能源管理(新加坡Ampotech)和网络规划(英国Ranplan)行业公司的独特专业知识，以及开发新网络优化技术的领先学术专家。该项目的主要成果是：1)收集电动船舶数据的物联网网关，2)舰队管理软件，3)沿海和船舶网络规划软件工具，以及由可重构智能表面(RIS)支持的沿海和船舶网络优化解决方案。
