Næringsliv og offentlig forvaltning preges nå av økende digitalisering. Det fører til at virksomhetene blir mer effektive og lønnsomme, men også til en økende fare for at virksomheter kan settes ut av spill eller lide betydelige tap. Det er mange eksempler på at bedrifter har gått under etter digitale angrep. I 2016 økte f.eks. antallet angrep av løsepengevirus mot bedrifter i USA med hele 6 000 %. Også norske virksomheter er i økende grad utsatt for digitale angrep. Eksportindustrien er særlig utsatt - spesielt teknologibedriftene. Digital industrispionasje er ofte billigere og langt mer effektiv enn tradisjonelle metoder. Det drives derfor…

De fire borgerlige partiene er enige om tiltak som skal flytte 30 prosent av godstransporten fra vei til sjø og bane innen 2030. Det tilsvarer 300.000 vogntog. Målsettingen skal skjerpes til 50 prosent innen 2050, ifølge Høyre, Fremskrittspartiet, KrF og Venstre. Avtalen bygger på et representantforslag fra KrF, som har vært til behandling i transportkomiteen. – Til tross for at det er bedre for klimaet, er det dyrere og mer avgiftsbelagt for bransjen å frakte gods sjøveien. Det ønsker vi å gjøre noe med. Beregninger viser at mellom 5-7 millioner tonn gods kan flyttes fra vei til sjø, sier KrFs…

Optimarin has been confirmed as the sole ballast water treatment (BWT) system supplier to be nominated for the Lloyd’s List North American Awards 2016.
