Maritime is one of the oldest industries and lifeblood of the global economy, accounting for the carriage of 90% of world trade. Ships and other vessels may seem like unusual targets for cyberattacks. But with their growing use of industrial control systems (ICS) and satellite communications, hackers have a new playground that’s ripe for attack. In a 2020 Safety at Sea and BIMCO Maritime Cyber Security survey, despite the majority of respondents (77%) viewing cyber-attacks as a high or medium risk to their organizations, few appear to be prepared for the aftermath of such an attack, 64% of respondents said their organization has a business continuity plan in place to follow in the event of a cyber incident, but only 24% claimed it was tested every three months, and only 15% said that it was tested every six to 12 months. Only 42% of respondents said that their organization protects vessels from operational technology (OT) cyber threats, and some respondents went so far as to describe

We have been intrigued by this question: How are ships ‘parked’ upon their arrival in ports, jetties, and piers? Unlike cars, they can’t simply be put off gear and parking brakes! Ships don’t have brakes in the first place. Ships need to be fastened and fixated soundly for conducting all kinds of shore operations such as cargo loading/unloading, refuelling, bunkering, ballasting/deballasting, boarding/deboarding, maintenance, repairing, and often for idle times based on voyage schedules and berth or workforce availability. So, mooring or the system of securing a vessel soundly for the purposes mentioned above is indispensable in studying ships and offshore structures.  Differences between mooring, docking and anchoring It is common to get confused with the terms mooring, docking and anchoring and may use them interchangeably. But there are stark differences between them.  Anchoring is the system of securing a vessel amid the sea when the ship is not near the vicinity of a per

“Investing on Yourself is the best investment”. 2030 year going to be a massive change throughout the world in all the fields. Starts from pollution norms, recycling, IIOT etc. Technology developments will take over all industry in a prompt time. AI is the field of conceiving, designing and developing machines which should perform tasks that usually   requires human intelligence. AI is the art and science of developing machines running  on intelligent algorithms that make them capable of   thinking, acting and learning like human beings.  In lay-man language we are expecting a intelligent machines in the field of engineering and technology. Scanner and sensors types going to increase more like thermal, light, proximity, chemicals, barometric, speech, audio, image. Human Machine Interface to synchronization for commanding/operating the ship from shore requires. Education and training are required to meet AI and to with the emerging accomplishments, experts say that full artificial intel
