Since the start of the MARISSA series of web events in 2021 (beginning with MARISSA Day 1 - Into the Future: Safe, Secure & Sustainable), we have successfully attracted over 1,200 specialists from the international maritime safety and security sector to attend our workshops and share their insights , views and experiences with the participants. In the very early days of MARISSA, needs and demands in maritime safety and security applications centered on the safe guidance of shipping, monitoring of territorial waters and borders, preventing marine pollution, and ensuring efficient and secure port operations.

Today, however, dramatic changes in the geopolitical and geo-strategic landscape have stronger shifted the focus toward the protection of maritime assets, infrastructures, and transport systems. Many coastal nations have fundamentally changed their perception of the maritime industry, elevating maritime safety and security to a high-priority, nationwide tasking for the gapless protecting of their national society and economy. Protecting and safe-guarding global maritime flows of people, goods, commodities, energy, and information, as well as enhancing the resilience of the underlying processes, is nowadays broadly accepted as key to global cooperation, trade and exchange.

Given these profound changes, it seems appropriate to take a moment to reflect on these developments. At the same time, we aim to explore the future trajectory of this evolution. What are the drivers, trends, and guiding frameworks conditions that will shape future needs and demands? For MARISSA Day 16, we have therefore invited internationally renowned experts to share their perspectives on the future of maritime safety and security.

The programme and speaker information will be available here in due course. Stay tuned for updates!
