As the UK looks towards a future of changing relations with its trading partners, the need to reduce emissions from the maritime sector and the potential economic opportunities from new shipping routes in the Arctic region, it is faced with many decisions. As part of its strategic response the UK is looking to follow other countries, especially in the EU and Asia, in investing in smart ports. Smart ports can bring benefits locally, nationally and globally from reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality, efficient supply chains and safer working environments. Yet, embedding emerging technologies, like the Internet of Things into critical infrastructure like ports introduces new risks and vulnerabilities that existing governance mechanisms are often unable to address. This paper firstly examines the growth in digitalisation of port drawing on initiatives in Rotterdam and Singapore. The new risks and vulnerabilities are discussed in the following section using several case studies before turning to review existing cybersecurity governance for ports. The final section focuses on the UK considering the lessons it can draw from the smart port leaders like Rotterdam and Singapore as it looks to implement the innovation and digitalisation element of its new Maritime Strategy.

“…Based on the prospects of a strong increase in the ocean economy (OECD, 2016), the Mauritian government aims to increase ocean based economic activity to 17% of national GDP by 2020 and raise employment to 26,000 full time equivalents (FTE) (The Providing accessibility to jobs, markets, social interaction, education, and services that contribute to healthy and fulfilled lives, transportation is considered 'a key enabler for inclusive economic and social growth' in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) agenda (UN, 2016;Jansen et al, 2018). Maritime transport dominates international trade and access to a working port infrastructure is thus critical for any national economy and its citizens (UNCTAD 2016;Jansen et al, 2018;Anand & Grainger, 2018). Following successful port development in Singapore, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Dubai, many countries are planning to build up regional hub ports, expecting additional growth of their economies in forms of new service markets (Munim & Schramm, 2018).…”

Research on the role that growth in the Ocean Economy can play on poverty reduction and income inequality has been limited to date. Using a Social Accounting Matrix framework this paper examines the distributional effects of investment in the port sector on employees and households in Mauritius. Two investment scenarios (conservative, US$1089 million and optimistic, US$1332 million) are considered. The results suggest that in the short term, investment in the development of the port sector would have an overall positive impact on the Mauritian economy. Poor and lower middle-income households would receive a very small positive impact, as would employees with lower education levels. However, in the medium to long term, impacts at the household level would be uneven with wealthy households and employees with university education receiving the greatest benefit. These results suggest the need for complementary redistributive policies. 1. Introduction An upper middle-income country, Mauritius has one of the highest annual economic growth
