HAROPA: The security and fluidity of the movement of goods are
strategic issues for the development of ports. The challenge requires
continuous improvement to find digital solutions to simplify electronic
processes, facilitate the development of international trade and secure
the applications involved.
It is against this background and to accelerate its development that
HAROPA - Port of Le Havre has adopted an industrial partnership approach
with AIRBUS. Today the two partners signed an industrial and
distribution agreement relating to a solution combining their respective
software systems, STYRIS (Radar-VTS) and S-WiNG (digital port
management service). The objective is to provide a powerful, advanced
solution capable of improving the monitoring of shipping and optimizing
port operations and port calls. These agreements allow AIRBUS to export
the know-how to other international ports and to promote HAROPA's
solutions.
A second agreement is part of the TIGA program and the Smart Port City
project (*). One of the challenges of the "Smart Port City" project is
to promote the integration of cybersecurity in port digitization, the
increasing use of the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Artificial
Intelligence to benefit the environment of the port community in Le
Havre, while supporting the emergence of cybersecurity in a framework of
mutual trust between citizens and companies in the surrounding region.
Against this background, AIRBUS, the LE HAVRE SHIPPING AND PORT
CONFEDERATION (UMEP), HAROPA - PORT OF LE HAVRE and SOGET have joined
forces to collectively contribute their technological and human
resources to the design and development of the strategy for a
cybersecurity platform for use in ports, shipping and industry.
In particular, as part of an experiment, they will work together to
define a technical, legal, administrative and financial framework
designed to offer the services of a Security Operations Center (SOC).
These services, made available to the citizens and corporations, SMEs
and VSBs forming the economic fabric of the port of Le Havre, should
constitute an operational solution allowing them to innovate, connect
and develop, while making cybersecurity an asset for their development
rather than a regulatory constraint.
For Evert DUDOK, Head of Communications, Intelligence and Security at
Airbus: "Partnerships are in our nature. They fuel our growth and
consolidate Airbus' position as a leading player in the maritime sector.
They allow us not only to expand our maritime portfolio and create new
services that can be exported and implemented in any port on the planet,
but also to ensure the cybersecurity of ports, enhance security on the
oceans and, more importantly, support port authorities in managing their
daily challenges."
For Baptiste MAURAND, Managing Director HAROPA - Port of Le Havre:
"These partnerships mean our existing solutions can more easily
integrate major areas of innovation such as blockchains; they will also
improve confidence in the quality of digital data and the traceability
of upgrades.
Our goal is to enhance our position as a major player in digitized,
secure ports on the Seine corridor in France." For Hervé CORNEDE,
President of the Executive Board of SOGET: "Cybersecurity is a key focus
for us, as we deploy S)ONE, our fourth-generation Port Community System
(PCS), developed in partnership with Microsoft, on all the ports of the
Seine corridor, as well as in Jamaica and the Democratic Republic of
the Congo. It is crucial to partner with leading experts such as Airbus
to take us to the highest level of cybersecurity and deliver the best
technology to our customers."
(*)HAROPA - Port of Le Havre and its partners are successful applicants
in the TIGA program (the French acronym for "High Aim Innovation
Regions"), the 3rd state-sponsored investment program for the future.
