The use of automation, which negates the need for human intervention on ships and in ports, increases the chances of security breaches. A cyber-attack can misguide an autonomous ship to move in a different direction or move to a separate port, which can lead to misplacement and delay of goods and services. For example, container ship and supply vessel operator A.P. Moller-Maersk became a victim of a cyber-attack that resulted in a loss of around $250–300 million for the company. According to a survey by law firm Clyde & Co and the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST), over two-thirds of marine industry executives surveyed from across the world fear that unmanned/autonomous ships present a greater cyber-security risk than traditional ships. Maritime drone swarming for better surveillance and investigation capabilities is an emerging trend in the autonomous marine vehicle market. Maritime drone swarms are a large group of underwater vehicles moving together for a particular purpose. The drone swarm has a wide range of capabilities in defence applications since it is capable of performing surveillance and investigation tasks followed by defensive or offensive countermeasures. As the swarm works collectively to navigate through the underwater environment, it senses a wider area in a shorter time by making use of several sensing techniques to build a comprehensive map of the environment. For instance, the European Union (EU) is currently funding a research project called Ocean2020, which will facilitate a combination of drones and unmanned submarines into swarms or fleet units. In another example, the US Navy's Undersea Warfare Center approved a grant of $78,000 for Aquabotix’s SwarmDiver technology to support the US Navy and allied vessels. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has regulations related to ballast water management in marine vehicles. Ballast water is defined as water that is pumped inside a marine vehicle to maintain safe operating conditions and operations. Regulation D-3 by the IMO requires that ballast water management systems that use active substances be approved following the specifications defined by the IMO. As per the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, active substances are those which include a virus or a fungus, having a general or specific action on or against harmful aquatic organisms or pathogens.

A vertical electrical sounding (VES) is a DC resistivity survey that offers information on how apparent resistivity changes with depth. The parameters for the geoelectric section can be determined using a quantitative interpretation of the results of VES measurements. The various survey types include aerial-based and land-based, and the services are used for infrastructure and building construction, offshore wind farm surveys, offshore cable tracking surveys, mineral exploration and mining engineering, natural resources and energy, water resources, environmental and waste management, and archaeological surveys. The global integrated geophysical services market is segmented - 1) By Method: Vertical Electrical Sounding, Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), Seismic refraction, Microgravity survey with differential GPS, Magnetic profiles, Induced polarization, 2D seismic prospection (refraction tomography and reflection sections), Ground penetrating radar (GPR) 2) By Application: Infrastructure and building constructions, Offshore wind farm surveys, Offshore cable tracking surveys, Mineral exploration and mining engineering, Natural resources and energy, Water resource, environment and waste management, Archaeological surveys 3) By Survey Type: Aerial-based, Land-based The global integrated geophysical services market size will grow from $2.16 billion in 2022 to $2.28 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global integrated geophysical services market size is expected to grow to $2.75 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 4.7%. Increasing demand for oil and gas has contributed to the growth of the integrated geophysical services market. In 2020, the transportation industry in the United States consumed 44.61 billion gallons (1.06 billion barrels) of distillate fuel, which is effectively diesel fuel, at a rate of around 122 million gallons per day. According to the US Energy Information Administration estimates, global consumption of petroleum and liquid fuel averaged 94.3 million barrels per day in 2019, and it is expected to increase by 3.3 million barrels per day in 2022. The increasing consumption of oil and gas is driving the demand for integrated geophysical services market. This is because integration between different oil and gas exploration methods such as archaeological surveys and remote sensing from aerial platforms and satellites obtains required geological information and evaluates core samples or cuttings. The sub-surface analysis is important for accurate reservoir and flow modelling, leading to more informed production decisions and the ability to produce more energy. The increasing demand for oil and gas is therefore driving the growth in integrated geophysical services market. Major players in the integrated geophysical services market are CGS, Halliburton, Polarcus, Geokinetics, Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS), and Schlumberger WesternGeco. The decreasing investments in seismic surveys are expected to limit the growth of the integrated geophysical services market. The sharp fall in oil prices is the major reason affecting investments in seismic surveys. Brent crude oil has dropped more than 60% since its peak at the start of the year 2020. The production of unconventional oil, weakening global demand, the unwinding of some geopolitical risks, and an appreciation of the US dollar are some of the factors causing the oil price slump. In March 2020, Polarcus Ltd., a company that operates ships that search for offshore oil and gas by using ships for collecting seismic data, announced the cancellation of two projects due to the effects of the oil price slump on the energy services sector.

Major players in the search, detection, and navigation instruments market are BAE Systems PLC., Leonardo S.p.A, Raytheon, Thales Group, United Technologies Corp., Agilent Technologies, Siemens Medical Solutions, Boeing, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Medtronic PLC. Stringent regulations on tariffs limited the growth of search, detection, and navigation instruments manufacturing. Governments across the world are imposing tariffs owing to trade wars between countries, national defense or curtailment of monopoly powers, volatile oil prices and volatility in international trade. The World Trade Organization permitted the USA to tax European exports as much as $7.5 billion annually. As a result, the USA has imposed tariffs of 10% on imports of large civil aircraft, and industrial products among other goods from the European Union. The tariffs could raise prices for American companies importing goods and machinery thereby increasing the expenses. The increase in the import duties and taxes has a negative impact on search, detection, and navigational instruments market growth. Companies in the marine industry are preferring navigation instruments incorporated with augmented reality (AR). AR is a technology that reflects the digital information in the real world. Navigation systems integrated with AR technology provide great support to the sailors in ship keeping and related operations. For instance, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) planned to install AR navigation systems on 21 very large crude oil carriers (VLCCs) operated by them. This navigation system will superimpose real-time video imagery and voyage information and provide support to crewmembers during their watch-keeping and ship operations visually. The benefits provided by AR technology in real time will increase the demand for instruments with such advanced technology. In January 2020, BAE systems, a British multinational defense, security and aerospace company acquired military GPS business from United Technologies for $1.93 Billion.
