For those of you who did not, could not or would not attend Posi- donia, I’m pleased to report that despite Greece’s well-publicized financial troubles, the 2012 event Iseemed to go off without a hitch. And despite the plethora of bad financial news emanating from both the country and the deep draft maritime sector, based on the quantity and quality of the legendary Posidonia after- hour parties, one would be hard-pressed to say the sector was suffering at all. Housed in the new Metropolitan Exhibition Center near the Athens airport, Posidonia brought out maritime companies from around the world. During the week I had the opportunity with a wide variety of companies, in- cluding several of the largest marine coatings companies. As an overview statement and as a side, I’ve been cov- ering this market for now nearly two decades, but it was in Athens in June 2012 that I’ve fully come to realize that coating manufacturer’s are arguably the most competitive group around. Most of the really good stories, per usual, came with the caveat “I’ll tell you this, but you can’t print it,” but overall the conversations helped to set the shape and tone for a five-person “roundtable” which covers many of the burning questions of the day, from the effects of Ballast Water Treatment Systems technology and Greenhouse Gas Emission controls on ma- rine coatings, to VOC limits and PSPC for Cargo Oil Tanks; to emerging work through the IMO on a Polar Code and the ban of biocidal antifouling paint in polar regions. Insightful responses to five topical questions begins on page 30. For regular readers of our pages, the cover might seem a bit out of character, but given the proliferation of soft- ware solutions across the maritime sector, and the ever widening use of high capacity, high speed comms from ship-to-shore, the matter of Maritime Cyber Security is fast climbing the maritime security “to do” list. CDR Emil A. Muccin, USMS and an assistant professor in Nautical Science/Marine Transportation at the United States Merchant Marine Academy contributes an authoritative look at the new definition of “Survival at Sea,” highlighting some dangers and precautions when creating and maintaining your shore-to-ship connections. The Arctic The overriding theme for this edition, which is hard to fully embrace topically due to the heat wave that has MARITIME been sweeping the U.S.
