Cyber guide

The second edition of the “Guidelines on Cyber Security Onboard Ships” has been released, compiled by the joint industry group, which is led by BIMCO and now includes new members OCIMF and IUMI, as well as the original contributors CLIA, ICS, INTERCARGO and INTERTANKO. It includes information on insurance issues and how to effectively segregate networks, as well as advice on managing the ship-to-shore interface, and handling cyber security during port calls and when communicating shore side. Chapters on “contingency planning” and “responding to and recovering from cyber incidents” have been rewritten to aim at ships and the remote conditions prevailing if a ship’s defences have been breached.
