Ship owners pay more than US$3 million on average to hackers
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.

Thetius Addressing Fatigue In The Maritime Industry
Fatigue science has advanced a great deal in recent decades. Much has been discovered recently about the impacts of cumulative fatigue, not just on day-to-day decision-making but also on long-term health. However, very little of that science has been applied effectively in the maritime industry.
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,...

2020 will be a better year for investment in maritime and logistics 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.
