Maritime TV is pleased to present another segment in the Internet TV series known as "Conversations with Cartner", a regular video discussion on maritime industry issues of the day led by Shipmaster and Maritime Attorney, Dr. John A.C. Cartner along with participating industry professionals.

In this installment, Dr. Cartner maintains that the maritime industry is unprepared for cybersecurity attacks with a lack of industry standards and best practices, and this “insidious, dangerous” threat exposes shipowners, operators and shipping companies to significant liability. He states that this vulnerability will inevitably lead to a “serious disaster’ and suggests steps that can be taken, from preparation to training to attempt to mitigate the effects of such an event before it happens.
