We live in difficult and dangerous times. Many shipping companies and ports have been targeted by online hackers in the past five years, and the results of these criminal actions are often devastating for individuals, businesses and nations. Hackers can cripple global maritime operations, delay the delivery of vital cargo and, in some cases, ships can be sent off course and even run aground.
This is a clear threat to fleet operations and therefore people’s lives and livelihoods, and we will take all necessary steps to stop cyber criminals.
Our determination to keep our customers’ assets and people safe has reached a major milestone as we have completed testing to comply with IACS IEC 62443 – UR E27 Security Level 1 cybersecurity certification. This testing covers a wide range of our digital products, including automation, navigation and Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems.
