Compiled by maritime innovation consultancy Thetius, the report, Beyond Compliance – Cyber Risk Management After IMO 2021, encourages proactivity in preventing and mitigating the impact of cyber-attacks.

New research has found that where cyberattacks in the maritime industry lead to a ransom payment, ship owners pay more than US$3 million on average to the perpetrators.
The report, which was produced by maritime cyber security company CyberOwl and global law firm HFW, has also revealed significant gaps in cyber risk management that exist across shipping organisations and the wider supply chain, despite progress made by IMO 2021.

Innovation consultancy Thetius has released the findings of a study which indicate that the maritime industry has fallen behind other safety-critical industries when it comes to fatigue management,...

Venture capital investment in the maritime sector was dominated last year by the enormous $1bn raised by US digital-first freight forwarder Flexport, but the deal masked an overall decline in investment in maritime start-ups.
According to new research from consultancy Thetius, $1.14bn was raised by start-ups last year, but without the Flexport $1bn, led by Japanese investor SoftBank, the remaining $144m represented a 24% decline on the $190m raised in 2018.
