Maritime Industry Unprepared for High-Impact Global Risks
If the maritime industry makes up even a small part of your supply chain, brace yourself: a new industry report has examined the impact and likelihood of 17 major global risks – and the ones it’s least prepared to handle are the same ones that could have a profound effect.
The Global Maritime Issues Monitor 2018, published by the Global Maritime Forum, surveyed stakeholders across more than 50 countries worldwide on impact, likelihood, and preparedness on currently trending challenges. The top 10 major issues, ranked by likelihood:
Unfortunately, it appears the maritime industry doesn’t have faith in its preparedness, with 13 of the 17 issues scoring less than 3 out of 5 (Very prepared). Some familiar risks that scored as under-prepared: Cyber-attacks and data theft, man-made environmental disaster, failure/shortfall in infrastructure, and natural environmental disaster.
Supply chain disruptions are one of the greatest concerns for continuity professionals. As companies increase their reliance on external suppliers to increase overall performance and efficiency, unique issues are raised for you. In addition to managing the recovery of internal resources, you must understand the resources external partner provide as well as the impact of the loss of those resources on the organization. There’s no better way to learn all that (and more) while bolstering your skills and increasing your worth to your employer, than DRI’s Business Continuity for Supply Chain Management workshop.
