CCCC17B17 - Understanding Port Community Systems

The purpose of the work is to assess the extent to which UK ports depend on third party common data systems; which suppliers and systems are the most critical to the maritime sector; and to assess the potential impacts from their loss caused by a compromise of data/service provider's network and information systems
