“2018 was a successful year overall for the BLG Group – while challenges certainly arose, there were also many good news stories,” stated BLG CEO Frank Dreeke at the Bremen State Press Conference on Ports on December 17 in Bremen.

In this context the smooth exchange of information between port stakeholders is crucial from a business perspective. Even the briefest system downtimes can give rise to substantial financial losses. Within the framework of a new project codenamed SecProPort, which has attracted a subsidy of around 2.8 million euros from the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI), an industry and research consortium is developing a security architecture to comprehensively protect port logistics against cyber attacks.
