0:00Good morning everyone. Our presentation
0:02is called Operation Crossroads and it
0:04focuses on securing the region, the
0:07Trans-Regional Multimodal Land Bridge or
0:10TRMLC.
0:12This corridor connects Arabian Gulf
0:14ports through
0:15Jordan and Palestine into Turkey and
0:17then forward European industrial
0:19markets. The purpose of our project is
0:22to make this important supply chain more
0:24resilient against major disruptions. We
0:27focus on four mains areas:
0:30cybersecurity, logistics, energy, and
0:32cross
0:33cross-border coordination. In our
0:36scenario, the corridor experiences three
0:38major disruptions at the same time. A
0:41cyber-kinetic attack, an energy
0:43deficient, and irregularities stalemate.
0:46These disruptions affect the movement of
0:49goods and create a major supply chain
0:52bottleneck. I will explain now these
0:54three shock and their impact.
0:57This crisis is called the triple shock
1:00because three problems happened this
1:02simultaneously.
1:04First, there is cyber-kinetic
1:05disruption. A zero-day malware attack
1:09disables 40% of automated port
1:11equipment, while GPS and AIS signals
1:15are spoofed. As a result, port
1:18turnaround times increase from 14 hours
1:21to 58 hours. Second, there is an energy
1:24deficient. The corridor loses 4,200 MW
1:29from its original 14,000 MW grid,
1:33representing a 30% reduction in
1:36available power. Third, there is a
1:38regularity stalemate
1:41called the silicon iron curtain. Western
1:44controllers manage around 50% of cargo
1:47volume, while
1:48East Asian providers own around 40% of
1:52the infrastructure, creating conflicts
1:55over technology, data, and coordination.
1:58Together, these three shocks severely
2:00reduce the corridor's ability to move
2:04around cargo efficiently.
2:07The result of these disruptions is a
2:08major supply chain bottleneck. Under
2:11normal conditions, the port can handle
2:1310,000 TEU per day with a 14-hour
2:17turnaround. After this disruption,
2:19turnaround increases to 58 hours,
2:21reducing the adjusted capacity to
2:24approximately 2,173
2:27TEU per day.
2:28This creates a daily gap of
2:3110,000 - 2,173
2:34= 7,827
2:37TEU per day. This means 7,827
2:42TEU cannot be handled by the primarily
2:45primary port each day. To prevent
2:47congestion,
2:49the strategy is to redirect cargo
2:52through inland dry inland dry ports and
2:56rail connections. The remaining primary
2:59port capacity is prioritized for
3:01critical shipments such as
3:03pharmaceutical, cold chain food, and
3:06defense equipment. So, the key issue we
3:09need to solve is the 7,827
3:12TEU daily bottleneck.
3:14>> Moving on to our cyber defense
3:16architecture,
3:18the main goal is to protect the
3:19corridor's important system from cyber
3:21attacks. We use a zero trust approach,
3:24which means that every user and device
3:27has to be verified before getting
3:28access. The system protects important
3:31equipment, including automated cranes,
3:33guided vehicles, and equipment used at
3:36dry ports. We divide the system into two
3:39channels. The first is an automated
3:41channel, which only used by verified
3:44operators, ministries, and shippers. It
3:48uses an encrypted gateway to keep
3:50commanders and location data secured.
3:53The second is a decoy channel. If an
3:56attacker tries to enter the system, they
3:59receive fake location and fake data
4:01instead of the real information. So,
4:03overall, the system protects the real
4:05logistic operations while making it
4:08harder for the attackers to access or
4:11understand the actual system.
4:14Next, we have navigation without GPS.
4:17GPS can be blocked or manipulated, so we
4:20need another way to track and guide the
4:22cargo. We use ground-based positioning
4:25through the eLoran and RTK mesh. It
4:29gives us an accurate positioning along
4:31the rail and highway routes. We use
4:34optical RFID
4:36and OCR systems to identify containers
4:40at dry port checkpoints. This allows us
4:43to check the containers, identify, and
4:46make sure it movements
4:49through the corridor is properly
4:51tracked. The main advantage is that the
4:53system does not need a satellite signal.
4:56So, if the GPS is unavailable, the
4:59corridor can continue operating and
5:02tracking the cargo. Moving on, we need
5:04to close the 7,827
5:08TEU per day gap. To do this, we move the
5:12cargo from the main ports to inland dry
5:16ports using rail. With 24 trains per day
5:20and 160 TEU per train, we need to clear
5:253,840
5:27TEU per day.
5:29We also have 5-day emergency buffer of
5:3339,135
5:36TEU. Meanwhile, the main port prioritize
5:40critical cargo and pharmaceuticals
5:43and cold chain food and defense
5:46equipments.
5:48This helps reduce the pressure on the
5:50main ports and keeps cargo moving.
5:53>> Emergency energy strategy. Here the
5:56crisis
5:57uh caused a 30% power loss. So, the
5:59available power drops from 14,000
6:03to 9,800 MW. So, we need to use the
6:06remaining power for the most important
6:09operations first.
6:10This will include the port and the LNG
6:13cooling.
6:15Also, clean energy can provide extra
6:18power.
6:19Then we have the chief power allocation.
6:22Here we divide we divide the power into
6:25three levels based on importance.
6:27Uh tier one gets full power.
6:30Tier two has 30% and uh tier three has a
6:3450% cut.
6:37This helps us to protect the most
6:39important operations first. With solar
6:41energy and batteries, we can keep
6:44productivity at about 94.4
6:48uh percent.
6:49Solving the silicon iron curtain. The
6:52main problem here is that the technology
6:54and the data controlled by different
6:55groups. So, we use ZKP and encryption to
6:58protect uh important information. This
7:02allows the different group to check the
7:04information without seeing private data
7:07data.
7:09So, the system can stay secure while
7:11everyone continues working together.
7:14>> In this slide, we will be discussing the
7:16smart governance and the rules.
7:18Everything is automated through smart
7:20contracts. So, if there are any delays,
7:23financial penalties happen
7:25automatically. For example, customer
7:28clearance must take 45 minutes or less.
7:32And container transfer must take under
7:3590 minutes. We also guarantee 100%
7:39non-stop power and fast reliable data
7:43pipelines.
7:44And for our strategic road map from 2026
7:48till 2030,
7:49we have three phases.
7:51Phase one, we secure our navigation
7:54system and set up energy storage to
7:57handle emergencies.
7:58Phase two, we protect our infrastructure
8:02by moving the main power lines and
8:04internet cables underground. And for our
8:07final phase, we create a full green
8:10corridor with electric trains, clean
8:13power, and hydrogen stations.
8:16And finally, we bring everything
8:18together by connecting five main areas:
8:22cyber, logistics, energy, governance,
8:26and infrastructure.
8:28Our goal is to build a safe, green, and
8:32reliable logistics network that keeps
8:34moving no matter what are the
8:37disruptions that are happening.
