Information Technology

Shipping today is increasingly dependent on digital solutions. This is also why the industry is becoming more vulnerable to cyber attacks that may result in shipping-related operational, safety, or security failures. Cybersecurity is about the awareness, culture, and behaviour of your Employees; a defined Process compiled of clear steps for carrying out tasks; and the Technology used to protect systems, networks, programs, devices, and data from malicious cyber attacks.

Seably Studio is an all-inclusive service that will support and guide you through the process of creating high-quality video learning productions.

Seably is a whole new approach to maritime training, a marketplace for content providers to present training courses to thousands of seafarers and pass on their knowledge and skills. Courses on Seably can range from simple explanations of equipment right up to full STCW approved and certificated modules.

Social media has become an integral part of life on a ship. However, there is a responsibility that comes with the crew's opportunity to access and use social media; this is rarely discussed or questioned.

This course has been designed to give students a good appreciation and understanding of best practices for guaranteeing the correct management of risks directly connected to the increasingly important topic of IT security.

The GMDSS network is a vital piece of equipment on board vessels for all seafarers whether it is professional or recreational. The system put in place allows us to connect with emergency services and rescue centres all around the world, preventing thousands of deaths since its inception.

This course gives an introduction to IMO requirements for an INS (Integrated Navigation System), and specifically the RAVEN INS by Norwegian Electric Systems.

This course will help you understand what GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is and why is it important in the EU and EEA areas. The GDPR act has brought a level of protection to natural persons in regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data.

'Cybersecurity in Maritime Operations: Strategies, Regulations, and Risk Management' is a comprehensive course that covers critical aspects of maritime cybersecurity, from understanding key concepts and threats to the practical implementation of cyber risk management strategies. It extends to studying the regulatory frameworks governing cybersecurity in the maritime sector and the roles of onboard seafarers and shore-based personnel in maintaining cyber hygiene. The course culminates with insights on how to integrate cybersecurity into the Maritime Safety Management System (SMS).

Being able to handle the media is not always as easy as you might think. All journalists are trained to get the most out of you and to make you answer their questions. Sometimes it can be hard to know how to handle this interaction.

Route planning and optimisation involve juggling safety, efficiency, navigation, costs, port rotation, ETAs, speed ranges and additional constraints, such as seakeeping. For ship captains, this is a complex challenge that requires the aid of a decision-supporting tool to give them confidence in their decisions and support execution. We developed SPOS (Ship Performance Optimisation System) to address these challenges.

In this short course, we will focus on the introduction of ISO 27001: Information Security Management Systems.
