    (2025) Seboko, Goitsemang; Bradfield, Graham
    As stated by Stephen Harris, a mere 30 years ago, the idea of commercial cyber-attack was rather a topic for the science fiction novelists than reality.'1 However, nowadays we witness a growing tendency of reoccurrence of this phenomenon across many sectors that rely on progressively advancing technology. Despite always being known as a conservative field, the maritime industry is no exception in terms of the exposure to risks that result from cyber-attacks.

    The impact of offshore and gas exploitation on the marine environment and its regulations under selected national regimes
    (2013) Fombang, Humphrey; Hare, John
    Despite the numerous advantages accrued from the exploitation of oil and gas worldwide, the repercussion of its activities on the marine environment has put the entire world under panic about the future of our beloved planet. Political leaders from both developed and developing countries through Conventions, Conferences, national policies and legislation, have been seeking various ways to regulate the exploitation of oil and gas on the continental shelf and Exclusive Economic Zone in order to protect the marine environment that is at the brink of losing its socio-economic values. With the present trend of events threatening the planet such as climate change and the call for sustainable development, the regulation of oil and gas exploitation on the marine environment remains a dilemma. It is now crystal clear that the principle of 'Common but Differentiated Responsibilities' as advocated by both the Rio and Johannesburg world summits on sustainable development, with regard to the regulations of oil and gas exploitation, which have already been put in place, must be strengthened.
