Marlow Navigation enhances fleet data security with Dualog Drive

(Posted on 20/06/25)

Marlow Navigation, a leading name in global ship and crew management, has strengthened its fleet-wide data security by implementing Dualog Drive, a solution designed to automate and safeguard data transfer between vessels and shore-based operations.

Headquartered in Limassol and managing over 1,000 vessels worldwide, Marlow Navigation operates at a scale where fast, seamless and secure communication between ship and shore is required on a daily basis.

With increasing demands for digitalisation across the maritime sector, the company placed a strong focus on finding a solution to optimise file transfer processes without compromising on cybersecurity.

“Cybersecurity is a core component of our fleet IT infrastructure,” said Manos Manoli, Chief Information Security Officer at Marlow Navigation. “When evaluating data exchange solutions, one of our key requirements was having files scanned before reaching the endpoint. This provides an extra layer of protection for both vessel and shore-based environments.”

Dualog Drive enables automatic file transfers across Marlow’s global fleet, eliminating manual processes and reducing the risk of human error. A key feature of the platform is its built-in cloud-based malware scanning, which inspects all files before delivery to detect potential threats.

“Marlow’s fleet handles thousands of file transfers each month,” said Kyriakos Papapolydorou, Regional Manager at Dualog. “Ensuring these exchanges are not only seamless but also secure is vital. With Dualog Drive, Marlow benefits from end-to-end automation and a robust scanning layer that protects every endpoint on board and on shore.”

As cybersecurity becomes a growing concern in maritime operations, Marlow Navigation’s integration of Dualog Drive reflects a proactive approach to digital resilience, ensuring business continuity and operational security across one of the world’s most extensive managed fleets.
