Protection Against Cyber Crimes

As vessels and liner shipping companies digitalise their way of working, cyber security becomes increasingly important to protect employees, customers and assets. The IMO Maritime Safety Committee Resolution MSC.428(98) requires vessels to incorporate cyber risk management practices into their Safety Management Systems (SMS) in accordance with the ISM Code.

Together with other industry associations, WSC has developed “Guidelines on Cybersecurity Onboard Ships”, which are regularly updated to include the latest available risk information, cyber risk management guidance, IMO requirements, and operational practices.
