Since BIMCO (The Baltic and International Maritime Council) first published its cyber security guidelines in 2016 and IMO’s (The International Maritime Organization) “Resolution MSC.428(98)” Maritime Cyber Risk Management guidelines in 2017, the maritime sector saw gradual progression of cyber safety awareness. Subsequently, OCIMF (the Oil Companies International Marine Forum) published its cyber safety chapters in its Ship Inspection Report Programme in 2018. This was followed by IACS’ (International Association of Classification Societies) technical guidelines in 2021 which stipulated all new builds in 2024 onwards to be cyber compliant.

While cyber incidents are not uncommon in the maritime sector, mostly are still within the IT on-shore and off-shore scenarios. What about the so-called moving and floating OT onboard rigs and vessels?

A live journey of this observation will be shared in this presentation in a bid to raise the awareness and to recommend the focused areas for maritime cyber going forward.
