How a childish idea catches on

How a childish idea catches on

In a bureaucracy, few things are as persistent as bureaucracy. Now the flood of bureaucracy is to be reduced with the help of bureaucratic de-bureaucratisation processes. The idea came from an office administrator at the Ministry of Defence working from home. She was fed up with emails and her nagging three-year-old, who asked how much money mum got for each email. Bingo! What if you made administrative work subject to a fee? Administration, staff work, rules of procedure? It should ensure standardised, regulated action in the management of authorities. This can be as complicated as you like, and terribly compartmentalised - broken down into processes. They are also called processes, who wants to proceed? In terms of content, decisions on matters of principle, draft legislation and the management of...

Cyber security in modern harbours

Digital transformation has found its way into ports and shipping, simplifying many processes. With global trade heavily dependent on the integrity of this industry, it is time to give cyber defence its due. The maritime industry, and port operations in particular, are facing a considerable backlog in the area of cyber security. Due to the increasing digitalisation of port activities, the vulnerability of the industry has been exposed by the lack of robust cyber defences, coupled with inadequate incident response planning and a shortage of skilled personnel in the IT and operational technology departments of port authorities. These shortcomings and the critical nature of port operations for...

Digitalisation leap in marine radio

Digitalisation leap in marine radio

The world of work is changing rapidly through the use of artificial intelligence. There are many opportunities for its use, especially in the maritime environment. Today's "digital" maritime radio systems are a safety-relevant component and feature tried-and-tested, robust technology that works reliably over long distances. They are therefore essential, as mobile radio networks are no longer available just a few kilometres from the coast. However, connection quality varies depending on the distance between transmitter and receiver and the height of the antennas used, and can be further impaired by local weather conditions. Then there is the "noise" of radios and noisy ship operations from propulsion, cooling and ventilation systems...

Maritime security is more important today than ever before - not just for Germany, but for the entire world. Global trade routes are the backbone of our economy, and it is precisely these routes that are under increasing pressure. In the face of growing geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, the Indian Ocean and parts of the Indo-Pacific, as well as economic uncertainty fuelled by increasing protectionism and the erection of trade barriers, Europe must pool its strategic resources and strengthen its maritime presence.

The attacks on the Nordstream pipelines at the latest have highlighted the vulnerability of underwater infrastructure. The West must therefore invest more in protecting and securing these vital links. At a time of geopolitical tensions with attacks on critical underwater infrastructure, seabed warfare has become highly topical. It aims to protect critical underwater infrastructure such as submarine cables, pipelines, telephone and internet lines, power lines and oil rigs - an enormous challenge given the vast sea areas and laying depths. Until the Nordstream pipelines in the Baltic Sea were blown up in 2022, the Balticconnector gas pipeline was damaged and a data cable between Estonia and Finland was interrupted in 2023, little thought had been given to hybrid sabotage attacks....
