Our Business We assist Maritime Authorities and Associated Industries to achieve their desired business objectives through the provision, maintenance and support of World Class Maritime Technology Solutions, such as Domain Awareness, Management Information Systems, Software Solutions, Docking Aid Systems, Aids to Navigation and Maritime Simulators

Challenges facing the Maritime Industry Safety of Navigation Piracy Port Safety Protecting the Environment Preventing maritime accidents / Pollution Risks of terrorism Identification and tracking of vessels Classification of vessel s - “friendly: and “unfriendly” Knowing what type of cargo vessels are carrying Visibility of their Coastlines Limited Resources (Technology, Patrol vessels, aircraft, etc) Effective and Efficient Supply Chains Profits Planning of Resources Getting the Right Information to the Right place at the Right Time

Key Issues – Maritime Industry Global Maritime Scenario - 70% of planet Earth is water (world oceans and seas) is more than 139 Million Square Miles of Ocean - Over 90% of Global trade is seaborne ie 800 Billion Tons of cargo on 100,000 ocean going vessels - Total Cost of Piracy in 2010 estimated to be between USD 7 Billion and USD 13 Billion

Key Issues – Maritime Industry - The African Maritime Scenario  Africa is the largest island on the planet surrounded by oceans and sea waterways: Atlantic Ocean Indian Ocean Southern Oceans Mediterrenean & Red Sea  72% (39 out of 54) African countries are coastal or islands  Africa’s coastline is 31,000 km  African inland waterways of 300,000 square kilometers  Global and African seaborne trade volume 90%  More than 50% of Africa’s GDP derives from trade

Trends and Drivers of Maritime Technology

Before Maritime Technology Manual processes No real ‘control/visibility’ of shipping (specifically passing by) No Visibility of the High Seas Wasted Resources Congestion Communication Challenges No visibility of subsea activities No Statistics for business intelligence Worsened visibility in bad weather conditions Manual processes No real ‘control/visibility’ of shipping (specifically passing by) No Visibility of the High Seas Wasted Resources Congestion Communication Challenges No visibility of subsea activities No Statistics for business intelligence Worsened visibility in bad weather conditions

What is Maritime Domain Awareness Solutions ? – Vessel Traffic Management and Information Systems – Port and Coastal Surveillance Systems – Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) – Satellite AIS – Long Range Identification and Tracking – Over the Horizon Radars – Underwater Protection Systems – GMDSS – Management Information Systems – Integration with CCTV, sonars and other sensors – Maritime Training AIDS – Precision Navigation Systems – Aids To Navigation (ATON)

Main sensors include: Radar (mono-static, bi-static, networked) Direction Finder (DF), Electronic Surveillance Measures (ESM) Closed Circuit Television, Infra Red, Thermal Imagers Automatic Identification System (private, universal) Satellite AIS Over the Horizon Radars Satellite imagery (geo-stationary, radar, visual) Sonar (passive, active) Vessel tracking systems (Purplefinder, fishing fleet, etc) Meteorological (wind, humidity, visibility, temperature, etc) Hydrological (current, sea-state, temperature, etc) External Sensors

Information provided by Maritime Domain Awareness Solutions Vessel Information – Accurate and autonomous identification of vessels (territorial waters, EEZ & High Seas) – ETA, position, speed – Dimensions, Draft, type of cargo – Pictures, Video Streaming – Classification of Vessels – Alerting authorities of history Resource information – Status of Berths / occupied, unoccupied – Depths – linked to Hydrographic Data – Teams on duty and their cost – Support Vessels like Tugs, Pilot Boats

Benefits of Maritime Technology Solutions Safety – Increased visibility of coastlines, EEZ and High Seas – Automatic Collision Warnings in designated areas – Critical Vessel Information available to competent Authorities ahead of vessel arrival – Previous Ports visited – History of possible offences – Cargo Types (dangerous cargo) – Previous registration details (if vessel has changed names/details) – Oil spill Detection as well as source – Facilitate Data / information sharing – Local Authorities (Defense Intelligence, Navy, etc) – Regional cooperation – Supporting and where necessary enforcing best practice – Reducing Risk – Improved Search and Rescue (SAR) operations

Benefits of Maritime Technology Solutions, cont Operations/Efficiency – Real-time tracking of vessels and cargo/containers – Improved resource planning and scheduling – Capturing data at the source – Information Sharing with key stakeholders – Ship Agents – Port Terminal Operators, Rail Operators – Readily Providing Business Intelligence – Statistics – Planning of future infrastructure – Supporting and where necessary enforcing best practice

Conclusion The Maritime Domain presents the greatest opportunity for economic growth, BUT unfortunately also for; The growth of illegal activities (piracy, drugs, etc) Maritime Domain Awareness will feature on the priority list of governments Achieving Maritime Domain Awareness will require international cooperation and the implementation of technology that facilitates the detection, identification, classification and surveillance of vessels and sharing of relevant information with the right people at the right time. Global Supply Chains will be more visible and stakeholders can plan with more confidence and exploit more opportunities; Improved Efficiency Plan future infrastructure to attract vessels that would otherwise not visit our ports.
