Type Approved to IMO MEPC 227 (64) protection from any existing or future cyber security threat. Ital Sela, Naval Dome CEO, said. “We are delighted that Stamco has chosen Naval Dome to protect the critical systems aboard its fleet. The decision is indicative of the shipping industry’s growing realisation that if systems are not protected they will remain a soft target with easy pickings for the cybercriminal. If ships go unprotected, hackers can easily penetrate critical systems, without raising any suspicion until it is too late.” Earlier this month a security industry report revealed that ransomware is now the most common type of malware, accounting for 39 percent of malware-related hacks. The Verizon report found that attacks are also moving into business-critical systems, which encrypt file servers or databases, inflicting more damage and commanding bigger ransom requests. “Aside from the safety implications should a ship’s navigation, communication and machinery control systems be breached, there can be significant financial loss, with potential “ransom” pay-outs of millions of dollars to almost anonymous criminals,” said Sela. “One thing that is really hampering change is the reluctance of shipowners to admit they have been hacked and system providers to acknowledge their equipment is not as secure as they believe them to be. “While this is understandable, an anonymous platform similar to the Confidential Incident Reporting Programme (CHIRP), whereby shipowners and operators can report security breaches, would help others avert attack and provide the industry with greater information on how best to mitigate against the increasingly advanced methods and systems hackers have at their disposal.” CYBER SECURITY ACADEMY BE SETS UP Wärtsilä is partnering with the cyber security company Templar Executives to establish a cyber academy in Singapore. The academy will offer courses designed to support and enhance the collective cyber maturity of the wider shipping community, notably operators and owners. “We believe this is a first for the maritime industry; a centre of excellence including a cyber academy, combining threat intelligence and cyber education designed to support collaboration for our customers MARIPUR NF CLARIMAR MF ACO Marine's new MARIPUR NF and CLARIMAR MF advanced wastewater management systems are the merchant, naval and megayacht sectors most effective solutions for meeting stringent IMO MEPC 227(64) rules. Compact and economical with the lowest operating costs of any sewage treatment plant, CLARIMAR MF and MARIPUR NF are proven to reduce coliform bacteria, TSS, COD, nitrogen and phosphorous content to levels significantly below the mandated requirements.

and the wider maritime community,” says Marco Ryan, Chief Digital Officer at Wärtsilä. The cyber academy’s courses will cover a range of relevant topics, from cyber security coaching for senior management to cyber awareness for all organisational levels within the maritime industry. The academy, which is located in the Wärtsilä Digital Acceleration Centre in Singapore, will become operational from 1 May 2018 and initially courses will be delivered in Singapore and London. “Cybercrime damages are predicted to cost the world 6 trillion dollars annually by 2021,” says Andrew Fitzmaurice, CEO at Templar Executives and continues: “The NotPetya attack last year put the maritime industry firmly on the radar, highlighting the need for a paradigm shift in response to the escalating cyber threats. Our ground-breaking initiative with Wärtsilä aims at creating the first ever maritime cyber emergency response team to support the industry on a global scale.” In delivering this initiative, Wärtsilä and Templar Executives will be actively contributing to sustainable cyber security solutions across the maritime environment. This includes building a cyber security reporting portal for the sharing of threat intelligence, as well as operational and resourcing expertise to jointly develop Cyber as a Service options. The partners will also work together with key stakeholders, including the Singapore government and CSO Alliance (Company Security Officers). “We are excited to collaborate with Templar Executives in offering the maritime industry a totally new initiative. Templar Executives has a proven track record in delivering discreet and valued solutions that improve cyber resilience and maturity to global markets, which is why we have chosen them as our strategic cyber security partner,” says Mark Milford, Vice President, Cyber Security at Wärtsilä. The academy partnership was formalised with a Memorandum of Understanding signed between Marco Ryan and Andrew Fitzmaurice on April 23 in Helsinki. NAVIGATION & COMMUNICATIONS BETTER DIGITAL STANDARDISATION AND SHARING NEEDED TO CUT CO2 The international shipping industry needs to work more quickly towards global digital standardisation if it is to reduce its CO2 emissions, according to Argyris Stasinakis, a partner with ship tracking intelligence company MarineTraffic. Stanaskis, speaking at the Singapore Maritime Technology Conference, said that more information exchange between shipowners, shippers, ports, equipment manufacturers and IT companies was needed to meet the ambitious CO2 emission reduction targets set by the IMO. "Reducing shipping's environmental footprint isn't just about fuel choice and vessel design. It's about deploying our assets intelligently. This can only be done if the industry is able to build a common approach to data standards and be more prepared to share this data. “If we are to unlock the potential contained in the vast quantities of official and validated crowdsourced information generated by shipping, we need to take a more open approach," said Stasinakis. AIS company MarineTraffic is part of the IMO's Global Industry Alliance, a public-private partnership working towards building a low carbon maritime transportation system. The company believes that more industry stakeholders should be taking a holistic approach to optimising the voyage from berth to berth and go far beyond current routeing services. Open data and transparency can positively contribute to the overall competitiveness of the shipping industry, significantly improving efficiency. Stasinakis added: "I passionately believe in the concept of positive disruption in the shipping industry. The benefits of better data are significant: lower fuel consumption, lower emissions, improved berth occupancy, tighter time windows for delivery of services." 15
