In the 21st century, global competition for power is particularly evident in the maritime domain. This presentation therefore focuses on the current maritime threat landscape. The focus is on critical underwater infrastructure, Russia’s shadow fleet, and hybrid and military threats. Where do the security challenges lie, and what trends are already apparent today?
