As I write this, CONTINUED however, there are signs that the worst may be over. Not all parts of the world were affected equally by the recession but many economies that were, including the UK, are returning to growth. The International Monetary Fund has upgraded its growth forecasts for the UK by more than any INVESTMENT other advanced economy. Britain is now expected to outpace many of its European peers in terms of growth for the next five years. As a trading nation this growth will translate directly into greater volumes of imports and exports. And as the Port of Britain, Felixstowe has a vital role to play in facilitating this growth. Throughout the last six years Hutchison Port Holdings has continued to invest in new facilities at the country’s largest, and most important, container port. This period saw the opening of Berths 8&9, the only facility in the UK to have handled any of the latest generation of 18,000 TEU container vessels. In 2013 we opened the port’s third rail terminal; the new North Rail Terminal. Doubling rail capacity at the port, the new terminal extends still further the already significant advantage Felixstowe has in being able to offer its customers the greatest range of sustainable transport options. The improvements to the port’s rail facilities are being matched by upgrades to the national rail network, the latest being the new Ipswich Chord which increases the efficiency with which freight trains can travel to and from key inland destinations. We already offer more rail services than any other port and the port’s 31st daily service will commence soon. It is not just the port’s rail connections that are being upgraded. The UK Government has confirmed a major toll-free investment to improve traffic flow on the A14 which connects Felixstowe with the heart of the country. Our own investment plans also continue unabated. In 2014 we will be extending the quay at Berth 9 to give greater flexibility for the very largest vessels and, beyond that, we will be improving still further the facilities for warehousing and logistics services on the port. Felixstowe’s position as the Port of Britain has been built upon a long record of delivering on our customers’ real needs. That remains the key focus of our attention and will continue to drive all that we do throughout 2014 and beyond.

  • Darktrace Case Study: Harwich Haven Authority, UK Public Infrastructure
    CASE STUDY Harwich Haven Authority Business Background Overview Harwich Haven Authority constitutes a major part of critical infrastructure in the UK, handling the world’s largest container ships. Through their Pilotage, Industry Vessel Traffic Services and supporting marine services, the Authority main- tains, preserves and protects important trade routes to and from the UK. Maritime With more than 40% of the UK’s container traffic passing through it, the Haven is an important gateway for European and global trade. The Authority Challenge delivers essential shipping services across five commercial ports including Port of Felixstowe, Ipswich, Navyard, Mistley and Harwich International. Mixed OT and IT environments Reliance on legacy systems Targeted and sophisticated cyber-attacks The power of Darktrace Industrial is amazing.

A breach in Harwich Haven Authority’s networks could lead to the interruption of essential shipping services, physical harm to people, cargos and vessels, or the loss of commercial and personal data. In coordinating 15,000 ship movements per year, there is constant pressure on the Authority’s security team to ensure that these movements are secured against both indiscriminate and targeted cyber-threats. With both OT and IT networks to monitor and protect, Harwich Haven Authority’s strained security team was ill-equipped to identify threats at an early stage, and was particularly concerned by network activity indicating reconnaissance and vulnerability scans on its firewalls.

The purpose of the SNA is to provide a ‘business as usual’ assessment of the current and future growth potential of key sectors of the economy to help inform planning policy approaches to accommodating future economic growth and business needs across the Ipswich Economic Area (IEA). Forecasts of employment growth for each sector have been sourced from the 2016 East of England Forecasting Model (EEFM) for the period 2014-2036. These forecasts represent a ‘business as usual’ trajectory of growth based on recent economic trends within the study area and provide a starting point view of how the IEA’s economy may change over the coming years. Job growth that is higher than indicated by the EEFM could be brought about by policy or development interventions, and this is explored through consultation with a range of stakeholders including commercial agents, industry representatives and business organisations. Existing information and data sources relevant to each sector are also integrated within the analysis.
