This chapter provides a view of the implications of apparent requirements for Harbour Protection (as seen through the eyes of a novice in the field of Maritime Security) on the design of a Data Fusion process that would aid harbour security staff in an improved understanding of the harbour-related “maritime picture”. To examine the implications of other related Maritime Security problems to the design of Data Fusion processes, the paper also examines process design implications of the broad problem of Maritime Domain Awareness and the narrower problem of Container Shipping security. A summary opinion is offered that: (1) these problems have much in common in terms of system-level design issues but that (2) the solution of specific sub-problems in each domain could benefit significantly from leveraging existing Defence Data Fusion knowledge and capabilities.
