Critical cyber-security risks for LNG carriers
LNG carriers are facing a critical juncture in cyber security, report DNV’s head of advisory cyber security maritime, EMEA & APAC Svante Einarsson and senior maritime cyber security consultant Guillaume Leleu in a recent paper, Raising the focus on cyber security for LNG carriers
With the rapid digitalisation of operations, LNG carriers have become increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats, prompting urgent calls for enhanced security measures, reports DNV.
The rise of digital systems aboard LNG carriers – encompassing navigation, cargo management and communication technologies – has brought about unprecedented efficiencies. However, this digital transformation has also opened the door to potential cyber attacks.

The Port of Seattle has been hit by a suspected cyber-attack, heavily disrupting airport and maritime services in the city ahead of Labor Day.
The ongoing IT outage, which started on August 24, has led to significant delays to the check-in process at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), with no Wi-Fi currently available and display screens not working.
Additionally, certain airport programs and services, such as SEA Visitor Pass and the Airport Lost and Found, are currently unavailable.
Passengers are advised to get their mobile boarding pass and check baggage before they arrive at the airport to speed up the check-in process.
The Port said there are “indications” the outages have been caused by a cyber-attack.

The Australian Defence Force has established a Cyber Command as it moves to create a cyber domain force alongside maritime, land, air and space personnel.
The new cognitive and information warfare command has been set up within Joint Capabilities Group (JCG).
The move, which continues the acceleration towards an integrated, focused force, ensures the cyber domain takes its place as the fifth warfighting domain alongside maritime, land, air and space in the application of military power.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has launched a new cyber security toolkit that will help the global maritime industry respond better to ever-evolving ‘insider threats’.
Insider threat refers to the risk that arises from a maritime employee carrying out or enabling a security incident, either through a lack of awareness, complacency or maliciousness. According to IMO, for terrorists and organized crime groups who are constantly looking to exploit vulnerabilities in security controls of ports and ships, insiders can offer a tactical advantage, as they hold privileged access to secured locations, items or sensitive information.
