IMO MSC 108: What’s on the agenda?
The IMO Maritime Safety Committee will meet in person for its 108th session (MSC 108) at IMO Headquarters from 15 to 24 May 2024.
The Committee deals with all matters related to maritime safety and maritime security which fall within the scope of IMO. This includes a wide range of issues, including enhancing maritime security, setting global safety standards, seafarer issues and the human element, regulating autonomous vessels, piracy and armed robbery against ships, addressing cyber security and safety issues related to greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

The maritime transportation system, the lifeblood of global trade, is undergoing a digital revolution.
Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming how ships operate and cargo moves. However, this increased reliance on technology creates a double-edged sword: while AI offers powerful tools for cybersecurity, it also presents new vulnerabilities to exploit. This article explores the growing threat of adversarial AI (AAI) in maritime cyber security and how the industry can navigate these challenging waters. |

Cybersecurity in the maritime industry is becoming increasingly crucial as vessels, ports, and supply chains embrace digitalization. With the integration of IoT (Internet of Things) devices, automation, and interconnected systems, the sector faces a growing threat landscape that includes risks such as data breaches, ransomware attacks, and sabotage attempts.
According to European Union Agency for cyber security, this shift is accompanied by a notable rise in cyberattacks targeting critical maritime infrastructure like ports and shipping firms, underscoring the necessity for enhanced focus and action on maritime cybersecurity.
The report utilizes the ENISA Cybersecurity Threat Landscape Methodology, analyzing a total of 98 publicly reported incidents during the specified timeframe. Data collection primarily focuses on EU member states and extends to global incidents impacting the EU. Major incidents were identified through open-source intelligence (OSINT) and cyber threat intelligence capabilities.

The maritime sector is evolving as artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalization redefine operational standards. This shift offers unprecedented opportunities to enhance efficiency, safety, and sustainability. We find ourselves in an exciting time when smart ships, autonomous operations, and other emerging technologies are set to transform the maritime industry.
For instance, in the coming years, smart ships are set to experience steady growth. A 2024 report revealed that the connected and smart ship market size reached $6.10 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to escalate to $8.5 billion by 2030. By harnessing technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), AI, and machine learning, smart ships enable real-time data analytics and remote monitoring, helping to optimize fuel consumption and minimize downtime, further lowering operational costs.
As exciting as this change is, we must also consider the need to navigate this transition in a coordinated, consistent, and thoughtful way, seizing the opportunities whilst remaining alert to the new and emerging challenges. This requires creative thinking, new tools, and fresh ways of working and approaching the traditional business - and who better to spearhead this than classification societies?

Classification society DNV has provided its first cyber-security approval for maritime digital solutions just prior to upgraded industrywide rules being implemented.
Kongsberg Digital is the first to receive approval from DNV that its Vessel Insight vessel-to-cloud data collection system is secure from cyber threats to new unified requirements from the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS).

The destruction of Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore by Singapore-flagged container ship, the Dali recently drew immediate speculation that it may have been hacked. This was almost certainly not the case, said Mantas Marcinkevicuis, CISO at maritime information provider Lloyds List Intelligence.
"There is absolutely zero evidence, it's almost impossible that it could have been a cyberattack," he told the audience at Computing's recent Cybersecurity Festival. An investigation is ongoing, but the most likely scenario is that in this tragic case the ship simply lost power.

Delegates at Riviera Maritime Media’s 27th International Tug & Salvage (ITS) Convention & Exhibition in Dubai, UAE, on 22 May 2024 were given examples of how data analytics can help tug owners reduce maintenance costs, and naval architects design optimised hybrid propulsion systems.
The latest information on cyber security and how to protect assets, ports and IT networks from online issues was also presented.
Uzmar Shipyard budget and strategic projects manager Arif Volga Kaya explained how digital technology is enabling preventative and predictive maintenance, real-time engine and machinery monitoring, and efficient fleet management.
