Shipbroker Clarksons warns of data leak after cyber attack


#LARKSONS THEWORLD SLARGESTSHIPBROKER HAS confi rmedthat it recently fell victim to a cyber attack, and has warned that the perpetrators are likely to release stolen data. In a statement to the press, the fi rm said it has


been working with police in relation to the incident and has a team of lawyers on standby to help preserve confi dential information. Initial investigations show that the attackers


gained unauthorized access via a single and isolated user account, which has since been disabled. The company is also now working to inform potentially affected clients and stakeholders on an individual basis. As soon as the breach was discovered, Clarksons


says it took “immediate steps” to respond to and manage the incident. According to its statement, the company is working with cyber security specialists to investigate the incident and has informed relevant regulatory bodies. “As you would rightly expect, we’re working


closely with specialist police teams and data security experts to do all we can to best understand the incident and what we can do to protect our clients now and in the future,” says Clarksons CEO Andi Case. “We hope that, in time, we can share the lessons learned with our clients to help stop them from becoming victims themselves. “I hope our clients understand that we would not be held to ransom by criminals.”


‘Resilient’ reefs could help the Great Barrier Reef recover


2ESEARCHERSHAVEDISCOVEREDA small number of ‘recovery’ reefs — which have remained unaffected by recent coral bleaching events — that could support the regeneration of the Great Barrier Reef. Consisting of over 3,800


individual reefs, the health of the Great Barrier Reef has recently been impacted by warming ocean temperatures and widespread outbreaks of coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfi sh. Now scientists from the


University of Queensland, CSIRO, the Australian Institute of Marine Science and the University of Sheffi eld have identifi ed 112 reefs that have the potential to supply larvae to almost half of the Great Barrier Reef’s ecosystem in the span of one year. Each of these reefs fulfi ls a set


of three criteria that makes them suitable to promote coral recovery: They lie in cool areas and rarely experience coral bleaching damage; they are located in areas that allow them


to supply larvae to as many reefs as possible; and they do not readily facilitate the spread of the larvae of the predatory crown-of- thorns starfi sh. The existence of such


well-connected reefs means the whole system of coral reefs possesses a degree of resilience that may help it bounce back from disturbances, according to Dr Karlo Hock of the University of Queensland. The recovery of damaged reefs will be supported by the infl ux of coral larvae from


their non-exposed counterparts. While these fi ndings are


encouraging, the researchers stress that the recovery of the Great Barrier Reef depends upon mitigation of climate change and control of starfi sh populations. “Identifying only 100 reefs


with this potential across the length of the entire 2300km Great Barrier Reef emphasises the need for effective local protection of critical locations, and carbon emission reductions to support this ecosystem,” says Hock.

s%XXON-OBILLAUNCHES@NEXT GENERATION OILANALYSISSERVICE ExxonMobil has launched a platform it calls a “next generation used oil analysis service”. The mobile-enabled technology, known as Mobil ServSM Lubricant Analysis, monitors oil condition and the health of high-speed marine engines. The tool can help to prolong engine life by assessing oil condition, thereby helping vessel operators identify issues before they become serious.
