Security risk and threat webinars
WEBINAR SERIES:
Evolving threats in a shifting world
In this webinar series, our specialists will explore the most current and emerging threats shaping the maritime security environment. From hybrid tactics linked to geopolitical rivalries to piracy, smuggling and the use of advanced technologies, the risks facing merchant shipping, ports, terminals, and offshore infrastructure continue to evolve rapidly.
Drawing on incidents and intelligence, the series will highlight the most pressing security concerns across critical global trade routes. We will examine how geopolitical dynamics, regional conflicts, and shifting criminal patterns influence maritime risks and impact commercial operations on both regional and global scales. With security challenges constantly adapting to new political, technological, and criminal realities, the need for continuous vigilance and timely insights has never been greater.
The series begins with a global overview of maritime security-related hotspots. This will be followed by deep dives into specific areas of interest, namely critical maritime infrastructure, developments across the Middle East as well as the impact of new types of security challenges on the maritime insurance market. The final session will then provide a vital link to land-based threats and specific security challenges for this part of regional and global supply chains.

Data Deficit in Cargo Crime Reporting: How Gaps Undermine Security, Policy, and Prevention Efforts
How do gaps in cargo crime classification distort national and EU crime statistics? What are the implications of poor data for law enforcement, policymakers, and industry professionals?
Cargo crime continues to challenge the security and resilience of supply chains and logistics infrastructure. Yet, despite recognition of their financial and security implications, these incidents are often misclassified or lumped into broader categories such as vehicle or property crime, thus preventing accurate tracking and reporting.
Navigating security challenges in the maritime insurance market
How are emerging security threats reshaping risk management and insurance in global shipping?
Commercial shipping faces an increasingly complex risk environment, with piracy, cyberattacks, cargo theft, geopolitical instability, and evolving criminal tactics placing growing pressure on ship owners, operators, and insurers alike. As new threats emerge, the maritime insurance market must constantly adapt to balance commercial viability with comprehensive protection.
The volatile Middle East – analysing maritime impacts
What are the maritime repercussions of conflicts across the Middle East?
Since October 2023, the Middle East has experienced a turbulent period. Regional and international repercussions are significant, especially in the longer term with potential implications for different maritime areas. The Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and, to a lesser extent, the eastern Mediterranean may be exposed to direct or indirect threats from regional actors.
Protecting maritime infrastructure – safeguarding critical assets in a complex security landscape
How do hybrid threats challenge the resilience of maritime and subsea infrastructure?
In this webinar, our specialists will examine the evolving spectrum of hybrid threats targeting maritime infrastructure, including – but not limited to – subsea systems such as cables and pipelines. We will explore how state and non-state actors leverage various capabilities, clandestine operations, and physical disruptions to undermine maritime security.
