Optimising information flows in the maritime supply chain
The MSc International Trade & Logistics conference to be held on 1 February will focus on managing information flows from a maritime perspective.
First of all, the physical aspects of data will be discussed. The case of Marseille - one of the world's Internet hubs thanks to the submarine cables - will be presented. The data sent by a smartphone actually travels through these cables and the maritime sector deals with these cables. Then, the main players in the sector of data transmission - including French companies such as Alcatel SN and Louis Dreyfus Armateurs - will be addressed.
Secondly, the conference will address the increasingly important topic of maritime cyber security. Ports, shipping lines, freight forwarders, insurance companies and all players in the supply chain are aware of the criticality of this topic and our panel of experts will help us understand the challenges.
