The feasibility of a corrosion resistant ship

The effects of corrosion on naval vessels have become more prominent as the acquisition of new equipment has slowed and more reliance is placed on the service of aging equipment. Recent studies in the US indicate corrosion is having an enormous impact on military costs, representing one of the largest through life cost components of military systems. These costs include the direct costs such as the manpower and material that are used to repair the damage resulting from corrosion and the indirect costs that, were they to be quantified, would significantly increase the total reported costs, such as the vessel or systems degraded availability. Corrosion also poses numerous safety risks and is currently a source of major concern to platform managers.

SECURING THE SOFTWARE SUPPLY CHAIN

whitePaper | August 15, 2022

Cyberattacks are conducted via cyberspace and target an enterprise’s use of cyberspace for the purpose of disrupting, disabling, destroying, or maliciously controlling a computing environment or infrastructure; or destroying the integrity of the data or stealing controlled information.1 Recent cyberattacks such as those executed against SolarWinds and its customers, and exploits that take advantage of vulnerabilities such as Log4j, highlight weaknesses within software supply chains, an issue which spans both commercial and open source software and impacts both private and Government enterprises. Accordingly, there is an increased need for software supply chain security awareness and cognizance regarding the potential for software supply chains to be weaponized by nation state adversaries using similar tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)

Charging Solutions For Battery Electric Trucks

whitePaper | December 22, 2022

The battery-electric truck market is at an early stage, with fewer than 60,000 units in circulation worldwide, including approximately 20,000 units sold in 2021. Ninety percent of these were sold in China, and most were on the lighter side of the category, between 3.5 and 8 tons. However, significant growth in the market is expected in the coming years as more governments and truck manufacturers set combustion engine truck sales phase-out targets, more models become available, and production capacity is increased. A robust charging infrastructure ecosystem, along with sufficient grid capacity, must be deployed early enough not to impede the growth of the electric vehicle fleet.

REVIEW OF MARITIME TRANSPORT 2019

whitePaper | November 11, 2019

Global maritime trade expanded at a slower pace in 2018, while volumes reached 11 billion tons. Reflecting developments in the world economy and trade activity, international maritime trade lost momentum in 2018. Volumes expanded at 2.7 per cent in 2018, down from 4.1 per cent in 2017. The slowdown was broadbased and affected nearly all maritime cargo segments. It undermined global port cargo-handling activities, and growth in containerized global port throughput decelerated to 4.7 per cent, down from 6.7 per cent in 2017.

Technology Innovation at Sea

whitePaper | July 31, 2022

The shipping industry is known to have many challenges. From CO2 emission rules to the fast-growing number of cyberattacks, ships and crews are vulnerable and must stay safe at all times. Onboard computer technology must become simpler, more secure, and resilient. We can see how digital technology helps transform the way we live our lives and disrupt business models. It’s hard to say just one technology will transform the maritime industry. The interplay and overlap between the technology areas are crucial, but this transformation has yet to make a significant impact on shipping.
