Industry Trends:

• In April 2024, The Digital Ocean Industry Symposium held at NATO Headquarters on 16-17 April 2024 brought together more than 200 industry representatives and government officials to address pressing challenges in the maritime domain and explore ways in which industry can better support NATO in leveraging emerging and disruptive technologies for operational solutions. The symposium, which was part of NATO's broader Digital Ocean initiative, focused on enhancing NATO's maritime situational awareness and operational capabilities, particularly in protecting sea lines of communication crucial for the security of the Euro-Atlantic area.
• In May 2024, Groke Technologies, a maritime transportation specialist, is advocating for the widespread adoption of ship situational awareness systems by marine insurers, P&I Clubs (Protection and Indemnity Clubs) , and regulators. This advocacy aims to address the rising number of claims related to collisions and other accidents caused by human error in the maritime industry. The appeal from Groke Technologies comes at a time when insurers are expressing growing concerns over various factors that could contribute to an increase in maritime incidents.
