Achilles Maritime Network Strengthens Focus on Cyber Risk Resilience and Supplier Assurance at Posidonia 2026 in International Shipping News 11/06/2026 Achilles, a global leader in supply chain risk and performance management, recently hosted members of the Achilles Maritime Network Business Advisory Group at Posidonia 2026. The international shipping exhibition was used as the backdrop for a strategic meeting focused on strengthening supplier assurance, risk management, and supply chain resilience across the maritime sector. Chaired by Peter Schellenberger, the meeting brought together representatives from the international shipping organisation and members of the Achilles Maritime Network including BW LPG, BW LNG, and Alberta Shipmanagement, to review progress across the network, gather member feedback, and identify collaborative opportunities to increase value for both buyers and suppliers. A central theme of the discussion was how to expand participation in the Maritime Network supplier community and better understand the scale of industry representation already within it. Members noted that current organisations in the network collectively represent approximately 2,500–3,000 vessels, and agreed that clearer visibility of this footprint would strengthen the network’s value proposition and support future supplier engagement. Members also explored the development of a more collaborative supplier audit model to reduce duplication and improve assurance efficiency across the industry. Discussions covered the value of sharing audit outcomes, the importance of maintaining independent supplier approval decisions within each member organisation, and opportunities to explore ESG-focused audits, local-language worker interviews, and future alignment with emerging assurance frameworks such as DOOSE. Cyber security emerged as one of the most relevant topics discussed during the meeting. Members confirmed that cyber risk is a growing concern across maritime supply chains, wit
