MARITIME SECURITY AND INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

The maritime industry is a global transporter of the goods of modern globalized economies. Shipping plays a vital role in today’s economy, with over 90% of the world’s trade carried by sea. The efficient transportation of cargoes impact on both consumers and the global economy.  In order to improve the safety and efficiency of maritime transport and the protection of the sea and marine environment, it is inevitable to use modern information and communication technologies when collecting, storing, processing, presenting and distributing relevant data and information to the participants in maritime transport. The Smart Port used information technology (IT) extensively to create a high-tech port.  Technology, in different walks of life has revolutionized and made a herculean task within the human capability. It has also been adopted in the industry to enhance safety and security. Despite quantum leaps in advances to ship and maritime security technology, the threat to life and property remains very real. Effective and optimal utilization of these technologies can facilitate in fostering maritime security manifold. The dissertation critically analyzes these technologies and evaluates possible solutions for optimization. It also makes recommendation for future consideration that may scale a higher degree of maritime security.
