In April 2022, the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) released UR E26 “Cyber resilience of ships” and UR E27 “Cyber resilience of on-board systems and equipment”, and the relevant requirements are about to be implemented.
To better serve customers, CCS successively released new versions of the “Guidelines for Requirements of Ship Cyber Security (2023)” and the “Guidelines for Inspection of Ship Network Firewall (2023)” since March 2023, to provide technical support for effectively meeting the cyber security requirements of ships and onboard systems.
As a ship cyber security device, the ship network firewall effectively improves the overall security performance of the ship network.
Since the launch of the type approval project, CCS Zhejiang Branch, with the support of the product department and the science & technology innovation center of the headquarters, has actively assisted in providing technical solutions for this project.
Supcon is a product and technology provider that serves several industries including oil and gas, chemical, power, shipping, etc.
