Background:
The maritime technology market is in tremendous growth. To illustrate, a report by Inmarsat expects Singapore’s maritime technology market revenue to double from US$2.4 billion in 2021 to US$4.8 billion by 2030.
The maritime industry expects 5G and satellite technologies to open almost infinite possibilities in maritime communication.
The introduction of smart drones for real-time monitoring, ship-shore communication, vessel traffic management, and just-in-time operations are just a few examples.
Parallelly, as maritime processes digitalise, more nodes are opened that could be exploited, including those with capabilities to mount sophisticated attacks on critical infrastructure. Since 1st January 2021, ISM Code supported by the IMO Resolution MSC.428(98), requires shipowners and managers to officially address cyber security as a risk in their safety management systems. Singapore and Norway are both actively stepping up efforts in maritime cybersecurity.
