Undoubtedly, the shipping sector is still today one of the leading sectors of development in Greece, as well as one of the most important pillars of the Greek economy. A key element of the industry is the cumulative use of new technologies, with the aim of maintaining/increasing competitiveness and profits. The shipping industry, with an ever-increasing number of goods moving from one side of the world to the other, is trending toward digitization. In this paper, an attempt is made to study the multitude of technological developments, which are accessible to the market, and which, under specific conditions, contribute to the increase of safety and quality in shipping. However, due to continuous technological progress, developments are rapid and new products, new functional ones, are added to the market, which is highly dynamic and competitive. In the context of harmonizing with the IMO requirements regarding the use of electronic systems, for the better and safer navigation of ships, since the beginning of the 1970s, the Electronic Shipping sector is a typical example of the new trend of companies, whether shipping or companies that support shipping.
The purpose of this thesis is to present the systems and applications of those that support not only the ships at sea, but also the daily operations of the company on land. These systems, which are primarily based on the wide application and development of the internet and wireless mobile communications, are constantly developing and evolving, since technology is evolving rapidly. It is no coincidence that the majority of major shipping companies now develop separate (IT) technology (ICT) departments in order to develop software to support not only their daily operations but also to promote safety on board ships . This development, however, creates new challenges in the hitherto unknown area of cyber security. A new concept is therefore born, the so-called hacking in cyberspace (cyber hasking).
Consequently in the 1st chapter the concept of Net Centric business will be mentioned. Information will be provided regarding the architecture and end use of the network-centric organization on board as well as the collaboration environment with the company ashore. In the 2nd chapter, the concept of electronic Shipping is analyzed, while reference is made to Information and Communication systems and technologies in Shipping Companies (ITCs). In the 3rd chapter, the electronic maritime systems installed on ships are mentioned, new technologies are mentioned, but also any developments on the already traditional maritime devices are highlighted. In the 4th chapter an attempt is made to describe the electronic shipping systems that are applied to the shipping companies on land, through which cooperation and constant communication with the ship at sea is achieved. Finally, in the 5th chapter, an approach is attempted to one of the biggest risks that all companies, including shipping companies, face from now on, and it concerns cyber-attacks.
