BETTER SAFE MAGAZINE Business as usual has left the building… Ever since the outbreak, the global pandemic and its impactful side effects have washed over the world like a giant tidal wave, forcing us all to rethink the way we live our lives and the way we do business. One global trend that has seen dramatic acceleration is digitalization and undoubtedly, the rapid migration to digital technologies will continue into the recovery and beyond. Here the winners will be those who proactively accelerate digital innovation, implementation and investment. Digitization increases transparency, reduces errors, automates and improves processes. All these factors are essential in the maritime and offshore industries where safety, efficiency, quality and cost-effective performance are primary concerns of every stakeholder - and like IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim, we too believe in the need to seize the opportunities that increased digitalization in the maritime sector can present. In fact, VIKING was already well on track with our digital journey when Covid-19 struck and had several digital initiatives and smart technologies implemented across our value chain. However, as you can read much more about in this issue of BETTER SAFE, the course we’ve charted for the future will take us full speed ahead on the digital highway. Our customers will be the first to benefit and while one can always expect uniform and efficient safety solutions and services from us globally, digitalization is bound to make the A-Z customer experience even better.
