Why is cyber security important?

Cyber security is increasingly critical in the maritime industry. In 2022, the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) issued two new unified requirements (URs) that relate to cyber security – UR E26 for newbuild vessels and UR E27 for onboard equipment and systems. Both have been in force since July 2024.
