We are excited to share the highlights so far from the 75th CIRM Annual Conference, which is taking place at the prestigious Westin Josun Hotel in Busan, South Korea. The event is proving to be a fantastic success, bringing together maritime leaders, innovators, and stakeholders from around the globe to discuss the future of maritime technology.

The joint presentation by Erik Speyer of Dryad Global and Peter Broadhurst of Inmarsat on EGC NAVTEX Visualisation, held on 16th October was an engaging session introducing groundbreaking developments in maritime safety and risk intelligence, focusing on how the latest visualisation technology enhances real-time situational awareness for maritime professionals.

Key Highlights of the Presentation: EGC NAVTEX Visualisation

The presentation showcased the power of EGC NAVTEX Visualisation, a pioneering system that offers real-time, full coverage of satellite-transmitted Enhanced Group Call (EGC) data. Attendees were particularly impressed by the system’s capabilities to integrate crucial maritime data feeds, such as:

  • NAVAREA Warnings
  • Distress and Safety Information
  • NavWeather
  • Coastal Area Updates

This cutting-edge tool equips operators in sectors like shipping, insurance, and energy with essential information to stay informed and compliant, boosting operational safety.

 

Introduction of Secure Voyager Hub™

During the session, Dryad Global also introduced Secure Voyager Hub™, a comprehensive platform that provides maritime risk intelligence, compliance with environmental regulations, and high-fidelity threat analysis. Designed to serve key sectors such as shipping, energy, and insurance, the Secure Voyager Hub™ complements the EGC NAVTEX system, making it a must-have for anyone looking to enhance maritime operations and security.

The Importance of Busan as the Host City

With Busan being a vibrant hub for global trade and a city deeply rooted in maritime heritage, it’sthe perfect backdrop for this year’s CIRM Annual Conference. The discussions on maritime safety, cyber intelligence, and technological advancements were well-aligned with Busan’s significance as one of the world’s leading maritime cities.

 

Looking Ahead

As we reflect on the success of this year’s conference, it is clear that the collaboration between Dryad Global and Inmarsat is paving the way for future innovations in maritime safety and intelligence. The response to the EGC NAVTEX Visualisation system and Secure Voyager Hub™ has been overwhelmingly positive, and we look forward to seeing these tools integrated into maritime operations globally.
