Top leaders of the Coast Guard and Corps of Engineers gathered with high-level academics, researchers and waterways and port industry professionals for the 12th annual Maritime Risk Symposium on November 15-17 at the Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, 111., the largest national laboratory in the Midwest by size and scope, just outside of Chicago. The symposium, which was both virtual and in-person, was structured around a series of information-packed panels that address issues critical to the Maritime Transportation System (MTS). This year's theme was "The Importance of Inland Systems to the Maritime Transportation System." Panels featured experts in cyber-security, eco- nomics, systems analysis and transportation systems. Panelists discussed topics such as decarbonization in the maritime world, threats to the MTS related to climate change, natural disasters and infrastructure needs and how best to train "cyberwarriors" in both the maritime service academies and among merchant marine crews to detect and prevent cyberthreats. |
