Normally at least two different companies already look at it. One, the container shipping company creates a plan where the containers should go (stowage plan). They then send it to the terminal who will look at it again. The article talks about USB/floppy disks and suggests they are 1) used 2) insecure 3) easily can be attacked. This without ever explaining how. They also suggest that the someone on the vessel themselves creates this stowage plan. This is utterly strange. Stowage plans aren't normally made by people on the vessel for the companies I know. Loads of details in this article make no sense at all. That said, container shipping should be hugely improved is true :-P The main bit is true as well: if you mess up the stowage plan you'd easily cause a lot of damage: yeah. Plus there's probably enough ways to do this. PS: It's not a CSV file.
