Cyber guidelines

ClassNK has released "Guidelines for Cyber resilience of ships" expounding new IACS Unified Requirements (UR) to support the consideration of measures to ensure the cyber security of ships. IACS has established UR E26*1 for ships and UR E27*2 for onboard systems and equipment to set minimum requirements for cyber resilience, which is the capability to reduce the occurrence and mitigate the effects of cyber incidents due to cyber attacks or other threats. The URs have been applied to new ships contracted for construction on or after 1 July 2024.
