Presentation content:

this presentation explores the growing threats to maritime infrastructure, from sabotage and cyberattacks to maritime accidents and physical assaults on undersea cables and transformer platforms.

Protection is no longer optional. But true resilience goes beyond defense: it encompasses the ability to recover quickly from disruptions and to build long-term, economically viable structures.

Ultimately, without ramping up security and resilience, it will be hard to unlock offshore wind’s true potential and find the necessary investments to drive the energy transition Europe needs.
