The voice of IT Leadership in the commercial maritime industry

Editor’s Note

Cyber risk, digital integration, port reform, terminal expansion and alternative fuels are converging into one clear theme: operational resilience. From shipboard cybersecurity culture to unified performance platforms, from customs digitalisation to low carbon fuel models, the industry is redefining how risk and efficiency are managed.

Today’s stories show that competitiveness now depends on disciplined execution across technology, infrastructure and value chains.

Maritime Cybersecurity: Two lessons shipowners can’t ignore

Cyber maturity is shifting from tools to culture. Anglo-Eastern’s progression to Diamond recognition highlights two critical lessons for shipowners: people decide cyber outcomes, and cyber risk is now an operational risk that directly affects safety and continuity. As vessels become more connected, prevention, monitoring and mindset are proving more decisive than software alone.
