DNV approves first onboard system with IACS cyber-security requirements

“This ensured the cyber-security capabilities of the vessel-to-shore solution are meeting the upcoming IACS UR E27 requirements,” said DNV principal engineer for digital ship systems Qitao Gan.

“Type approval also eases the acceptance by vessel owners, builders, other end-to-end solution providers and third-party verifiers.”

Acceleration of digitalisation in the maritime industry increases reliance on secure data collected from onboard components and systems, including classed standards and security protocols.

“IACS E27 represents a significant improvement in cyber security compared with previous regulations,” said Kongsberg Digital vice president for maritime products Anders Bryhni.

“This is a class societies’ umbrella-wide requirement which means all need to comply. Now Vessel Insight is assessed and approved for these rules, individual vessels can be compliant with small audits from class societies,” he added.
