The challenge

Reliable IT for shipping and port operations

Shipping operates around the clock and across time zones. Crewing, chartering, operations and finance depend on uninterrupted communication between shore offices, terminals and partners worldwide; an outage at a critical moment can delay a vessel or a cargo.

Shipping companies are also a deliberate target, as a single compromised office can affect an entire fleet. We implement and operate the networks, communication systems and security for shore offices and port facilities and monitor them around the clock.

What matters

What matters in shipping

01
Continuous availability

Operations do not end with the working day, and neither can communication.

03
Targeted fraud

Fraudulent payment requests and ransomware directed at shipping companies have become widespread.
04
Critical data

Charter, crew and cargo data must be available and protected at all times.
