International security technology company Ajax Systems has joined the African Boating Conference (ABC) as an Industry Partner and will bring its security expertise to one of the conference’s most topical discussions: how the marine industry manages risk in an increasingly complex global environment.
Taking place in Cape Town on 20–21 October 2026, the African Boating Conference will bring together leaders from across the boating, superyacht, marina and wider marine sectors to examine opportunities and challenges affecting the development of the industry across Africa. Ajax Systems will also participate in the panel “Evaluating Risk in an Unstable Global Environment,” sponsored by Pantaenius Insurance.
The session will examine how the definition of marine risk is changing. Geopolitical instability, security threats, extreme weather, remote cruising destinations, technology, cyber vulnerabilities, emergency response and crew preparedness are increasingly influencing the decisions made by yacht owners, captains, operators and insurers.
African Boating Conference, Marketing & Development Director, Maryanne Edwards said; “the partnership reflects the conference’s focus on addressing the issues that will influence the future of boating and superyacht activity in Africa. Risk has become a far more complex consideration for our industry, extending beyond navigation, weather and conventional vessel safety to include security, geopolitical developments, technology and emergency response.”
For Ajax Systems, whose technology spans security, video surveillance, fire detection, automation and remote monitoring, the discussion provides an opportunity to contribute practical security and technology expertise to a much wider conversation about managing risk.
Ashley Boddington, Business Development Manager, Ajax Systems commented: “We are excited to take part in the Conference and connect with the boating community. Modern technology gives us the opportunity to make everyday life simpler — even when it comes to something as critical as safety. At Ajax Systems, we believe security should work seamlessly, giving people confidence and peace of mind, wherever they are.”
Ajax Systems’ participation as an Industry Partner adds an important technology and security perspective to a panel designed to bring together expertise across insurance, security, yacht operations and risk management.
