Vessel Remote Guidance Protocol implementation case study

A portfolio version of a university software implementation project focused on remote vessel guidance, safer docking support, stakeholder planning, and structured project delivery.

Project overview

What the project explored

The project explored how a vessel could communicate with an onshore maritime operations center to support remote guidance, monitoring, and docking decisions. The portfolio version focuses on the project-management side: scope definition, planning, documentation, stakeholder communication, and final presentation.

My contribution

Project management responsibilities

Planning

Structured the project scope, timeline, milestones, and implementation priorities for the student team.

Documentation

Coordinated project documentation so the concept, workflow, and delivery logic were clear to stakeholders.

Stakeholder communication

Helped translate a technical project idea into understandable updates, decisions, and presentation material.

Team coordination

Supported role clarity, task tracking, and team alignment across planning, technical, and presentation work.

Delivery model

How the work was organized

01

Define the problem

Clarify the remote guidance concept, target users, vessel-side needs, and onshore decision-support workflow.

02

Plan the implementation

Break the concept into project phases, documentation tasks, team responsibilities, and review checkpoints.

03

Manage project risks

Identify uncertainty around technical integration, communication reliability, security, safety, and scope control.

04

Present the result

Prepare a final explanation of the solution concept, project value, and implementation direction.

Project thinking

Key areas considered

Safety

Remote guidance needs clear control logic and responsible decision support for docking scenarios.

Communication

The vessel and onshore center need reliable real-time information exchange.

Security

Remote access and vessel data flows need careful access control and risk awareness.

Usability

Operators need understandable guidance, alerts, status information, and documentation.

Reflection

What this project demonstrates

This project connects my academic background in digital services and IT governance with practical project management. It shows how I approach complex technology work: understand the problem, organize the team, document decisions, and communicate the solution clearly.

  • Project planning and milestone thinking
  • Technology concept communication
  • Documentation and final presentation preparation
  • Risk awareness for digital service implementation
  • Team coordination in a multicultural university project
