Korean project comes up with best practices for cybersecurity regulations
CYTUR has successfully completed the Smart Ship Cybersecurity Demonstration Project in 2023 with funding from the Ministry of Science and ICT and the KISA (Korea Internet & Security Agency).
Shipbuilders, ship suppliers, and academic and industrial experts in the information security industry participated in the project and evaluated the results to be the best practices for the preparation of cybersecurity regulations for the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) and Unified Requirements (UR) E26 and E27. The results were also the best practices for the implementation of the Korean government’s Maritime Cyber Safety Management Guidelines, etc. |

News2023's top stories in Maritime Optimisation & Communications
One of the stand-out themes among the most-read stories of 2023 in our communications-related content is the advancement of satellite communications technology, internet access for shipping and offshore assets, and the offices and seafarers that work with and on them.
New satellite networks in low-earth orbit and multi-layered orbits, and the uptake of the Elon Musk-owned Starlink -- a recent market entrant on a stratospheric trajectory -- were among the favourites.
But our stories this year, as with last year’s most-read stories, spanned many of the subjects central to shipping’s emerging digital revolution. Maritime Optimisation & Communications readers were keen to understand the latest breakthroughs in autonomous shipping, are wary of the business impacts of cyber attacks while also watching digitalisation slowly change age-old paper practices and centuries-old companies.

The US Navy has revealed an innovative strategy, highlighting the critical role of "non-kinetic effects" in future warfare. In this inaugural cyber strategy, the Navy anticipates the use of unseen disruptive actions as decisive in determining battlefield outcomes.
The 14-page document outlines potential non-kinetic effects such as jammed electronics, compromised networks, and manipulated information, impacting military and civilian domains.
The strategy aims to offer a comprehensive vision of the battle environment, fostering internal accountability and external persuasion. |

The figures were produced by analysing traffic transferred via the company’s systems during the period between 1 November 2022 and 31 October 2023.
“Over the last 12 months, we have seen the amount of data used by vessels increase from 7.8 terabits a month to more than 10.6 terabits,” said Jamie Jones, Operations Director, GTMaritime.

Port cyber-attacks are one of the biggest threats facing port operators.
In late 2023, multiple Australian ports came under attack with terminals in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth disrupted across four days. This echoed a breach in which cyber-attacks hit three Canadian ports. Similarly, a breach of the Port of Lisbon led to confidential information being published online.
Against these threats, how can ports get the best cyber-attack insurance?

Shipowners, builders, operators and managers will be challenged by two stringent cyber-security regulations when they come into force on 1 July 2024
These ambitious rules, developed by the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), will provide guidance for ship newbuildings and targets for existing vessels to emulate, agreed experts during Riviera Maritime Media’s Safeguarding the seas: Cybersecurity rules for shipping webinar, sponsored by Inmarsat.
IACS unified requirements (UR) for cyber resilience will affect shipbuilders, marine equipment manufacturers and shipowners alike, and are designed to future-proof shipping as older analogue devices are replaced by digital systems.
