In recent years, the major technology of smart ships in the shipbuilding and marine sectors focuses on data platforms, telecommunications, and cyber security issues, which can only be mounted on ships if they meet technical specifications and performance requirements defined by international standards, not problems solved through technological development. Norway and Japan are taking the lead in standard development in this field, and the Korea is also actively participating to reflect the opinions of the domestic industry in the international community. However, related academic research has not been carried out systematically. Therefore, this study attempts to analyze the current status and development of standards in data-related fields among subcommittees of Ships and Marine Technology (SC), which are covered by Technical Committee 8 (TC 8) of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Especially, the tasks for the relevant subjects will be performed by appealing to the international society through participation in various international conferences attended by the subcommittee of SC 6 ‘Navigation and Ship Operation’, SC 11 ‘Intermodal and Short Sea Shipping’ or a work group of WG 10 ‘Smart Shipping’ under TC 8, considering the inputs from local experts and Korean Agency for Technology and Standards. In addition, this study examines the current status and problems of data platforms in the shipbuilding and marine sectors, and examines the strategies of Korea and the time and cost benefits that follow them. To this end, this study implements literature review and empirical analysis. This paper collected and analyzed Big Data from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, using the keywords ‘smart ship’, ‘autonomous ship’, ‘marine big data’, ‘data integration platform’, and ‘ship Big Data’. While the domestic shipbuilders were developing their own smart ship data integration platforms, they agreed that they would be vulnerable to global smart ship data integration platform initiatives and standard data development. If the data integration platform is developed or improved through unprecedented collaboration in the competitive systems of the shipbuilding industry, it is would improve the competitiveness of the Korean shipbuilding industry by applying the shipbuilders' Captive volume. Investment costs can also be reduced by leading international standardization and improving platforms for shipyards through joint responses from international standards (ISO).
