Symposium on digital maritime safety platforms
Already a day before the actual commencement of the notes and presentations, on 22 October at 4 pm, a live demonstration at the outside area of the Forum Fischbahnhof marks the beginning of the symposium. This live demonstration will be open to visitors throughout the two-day symposium. The event addresses the achievements and challenges of digital ship safety and security.
The first day of the symposium is about how digitalization is utilized in marine traffic monitoring, management as well as logistic chains, about maritime infrastructures in ports, on ships and of waterways, and about innovations for safeguarding and protecting for example coastal and offshore installations. Enterprises and public authorities will present their projects in connection with these themes. For the evening of the 23rd October, the Senator for Economic Affairs, Labour and Europe of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen invites the participants to a reception at the "German Immigration Centre" in Bremerhaven.
During the morning session of day two, risks and tasks of cyber security will be discussed. The speakers and participants will focus on digital avenues in environmental protection and the future of digital safety and security issues.
The symposium is part of the National Masterplan for Maritime Technologies (NMMT) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. With this masterplan, the coordinator for the maritime economy of the Federal Government Norbert Brackmann has set up a concept for the advancement of the maritime economy. As part of the Maritime Agenda 2025 of the Federal Government, the NMMT will depict the innovation and development requirements of the maritime sector.
