Security on the cheap

It is one thing to innovate but it’s quite another to make it attractive to the market, especially when it’s focused on an issue as diffuse as security.

“Some of this high tech security stuff can have a very big price tag which simply isn’t going to work for the average port. You have to make security systems reasonable: a multimillion-dollar solution just means people will say it’s easier to stick with a couple of guys on a runabout,” says Greg Atkinson of Eco Marine Power.
