ABS issues cyber-safety compliance certificate to SHI
The ABS Certificate demonstrates compliance with the ABS Guide for Cybersecurity Implementation
It is widely recognised that the transfer of data in real time between ship and shore, enabling automated operations, presents a growing cybersecurity challenge in both the marine and offshore sectors.
The ABS Certificate demonstrates compliance with the ABS Guide for Cybersecurity Implementation for the Marine and Offshore industries and the ISO 27000 series, IT Security Control Code of Practice.
Paul R. Walters, director of the Global ABS CyberSafety® programme, said: "ABS is pleased to be working with SHI to ensure the next generation of vessels is better equipped to address the increased level of cyber risk they will certainly face.“
The classification society will continue to cooperate with SHI on the development of smart ship cybersecurity technology, both for shipboard arrangements and onshore fleet management systems.
