19NOV2018 - NEWS - Classification society American Bureau of Shipping and Hyundai Heavy Industries to jointly develop cyber security requirements for vessels

Classification society American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has recently partnered with South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) to develop cybersecurity standards for new marine vessels. The standards form part of the ABS Cyber Security-Ready (CS-Ready) Notation that is designed for marine assets. ABS’ FCI Cyber Risk model is developed to quantify cyber risk by measuring functions of vessels’ critical systems such as navigation, propulsion, and connections such as digital networks connecting functions. It is also capable of identifying people or devices accessing connections. The new ABSCS-Ready Notation is expected to ensure the proper characterisation of the vessels’ functions and connections to help owners control the systems.
