The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has saved more than three thousand hours following the successful rollout of a data upskilling program in partnership with Multiverse. The training of the 68-strong cohort has enabled the MCA to develop a data-first culture, supporting the organization’s goal to harness data to improve safety at sea and to make the oceans cleaner.
Using new insights from machine learning and statistical modeling, data apprentices have started to drive significant value for the MCA, such as helping to predict vessel risks and environmental hazards and reporting on new insights across their remit.
Through improving and increasing the flow of data into the MCA Data Platform, utilizing a Databricks data environment, learners have also driven improved uptake of data visualization tools like Power BI across the agency. This helps key stakeholders like coastguards, surveyors and customer teams to do their jobs more effectively by enabling greater access to digestible, up-to-date information.
The training delivered by Multiverse, a Databricks and Microsoft partner, has assisted the MCA to drive greater adoption of data tools, and lay a strong foundation for developing more complex AI capabilities in the future. Combined with the Databricks data platform, the agency now has
