MARACAD 2018 MARACAD 2018 Innovation & Creativity Conference is the premier event in UAE that aims to engage the Technology & Innovation together with the fundamental maritime elements, including education and training, by facilitating partnering opportunities, that will open doors to better and more agile future for the maritime industry. The theme for this year’s conference is autonomy. With Ports, Shipbuilders, Training centers, Marine academies, and Shipping in general, is heading to the direction of innovation, Laws and regulations must be developed to coop with this technological trend, not to mention information technology and cybersecurity that plays a major aspect in tomorrow’s new phase. We are at the beginning of a global transformation characterized by the convergence of digital, physical, and biological technologies. In today’s world, promoting technological innovation in port infrastructure, logistics, and physical connectivity within the maritime sector, among others, is especially important to find new engines of growth. All countries must recognize competitiveness as a key factor when addressing global socio-economic challenges and support, incorporate, and implement innovative operations within their strategic vision. Hence, this year’s event, is being held in conjunction with launch of the new International prestigious (UAE Award for Maritime Creativity and Innovation), which we antedate on becoming an inspiration and motivation for this great industry, as we strive to continue the legacy we all are proud of.

Who Should

Cyber security training programme The vast majority of Maritime employers are not doing enough to help crews understand the risks they face, and how to avoid them. With most of attacks being targeted at people rather than IT infrastructure, the ‘Human Factor’ is widely considered to be the biggest risk in cybersecurity at sea. Programme to help seafarers recognise and respond to cyber threats The nature of cyber security threats How to assess the risks to the ship’s IT and OT (Operational Technology) systems How the risks to individuals and ships can be reduced How to respond to a cyber-security breach or attack

Attend Ship Owners, Operators & Managers Pool Operators & Charterers Regulators & Lawyers Bankers & Insurers Ports & Terminals Service Providers Technology Providers Technology Suppliers Academic, Training Centers Consultants & Researchers Shipyards, Dry-docks & Scrapyards

Address the threat of ransom ware attack and other computer system breaches that could severely affect the safety of ships’ crew, systems, and operations Role of International Maritime Organization (IMO) to put mandatory for companies to ensure that cyber security procedures are properly addressed in their ship’s Safety Management System

Panel Discussion - Do we need to provide thorough training and education to the ship’s crew and maritime professionals in general to keep the industry free of Cybersecurity risks?
