Merchant vessels and ports are extraordinarily vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks against OT systems. It is estimated that 90% to 95% of all shipped goods at some stage travel by sea. This makes the global maritime industry the largest and most important supply chain. Successful cyberattacks against the maritime supply chain would have the potential to damage individual companies, national finances, and even the global economy.
The maritime sector includes the ports and the

Not every time there is a supply chain slowdown or stoppage, it is caused by criminal hackers. The recent supply chain woes in Seattle and other maritime ports along the west coast of the US, is actually a worker’s slowdown. The Port of Seattle shut its cargo operations on 10 June, adding to sporadic disruptions that have plagued West Coast ports for over a week.
The Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), which represents ocean carriers and terminal operators, blamed “coordinated and disruptive w
At a time when vessels and other critical maritime infrastructure are becoming increasingly connected to IT systems, less than half (40%) of maritime professionals think their organization is investing enough in cyber security, according to new research from DNV.[1] While the maritime industry has focused on enhancing IT security over recent decades, said the class society, the security of operational technology (OT) – which manages, monitors, controls and automates physical assets – is ‘a more
A maritime VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) is a two-way satellite internet terminal which receives and transmits real-time data via satellites. It is vital for many vessels to maintain a high-speed, reliable connection while offshore. In addition to the importance of connectivity for operations, it also serves a key crew welfare role. However, VSAT also presents cyber threats to vessels, due to the value of the data they transmit and their role as attack vectors for other technology on bo

As the Captain of your ship, you are standing on the bridge and the course is being monitored on a digital display. The course shows a heading of north, yet the ship continues to turn west. On the computer screens in the dark wheelhouse, everything looks normal, but outside your window, the land is coming dangerously close! What is happening? You do not want to run aground, or worse collide with the pier or other vessels.
Down in the engine room, the engineers report back to you via radio that e

Let’s say you are a bridge officer on a 12,000 TEU container vessel in the Kill Van Kull Channel (upper NYC bay area), heading west towards the Bayonne Bridge with a pilot on board. It is a cloudless sunny day. As you pass Constable Hook Reach, you feel the ship veer hard to port and your speed appears to increase. Although the bridge instruments show your expected speed, location, and rudder position, the rudder is, in fact, hard over to port and your speed has increased to 12 knots. The pil
In the past several years, Red Sky Alliance has tracked vessel spoofing is seen all along the transportation supply chain. Now we are hearing that DNV Maritime has reported a cyber-attack on its ShipManager software that forced the company to take its servers offline. The incident was detected on 7 January 2023, and DNV said its experts are working with IT security partners to put in place a technical recovery plan and ensure operations are online as soon as possible.[1]

The International Association of Ports & Harbors (IAPH) has recently published its summary report “Closing the Gaps," highlighting key actions in digitalization, decarbonization and resilience the maritime sector.”[1] IAPH defines and identifies the principal gaps in port and port-related infrastructure on a global scale. These gaps were identified in terms of efficiency, connectivity and accessibility, digitalization, decarbonization, shipping costs and regulatory environment.

The Port of Los Angeles has been making headlines after sharing an eye-opening statistic; the port faces around 40 million cyber-attacks per month. As the busiest port in the western hemisphere handling $250 billion of cargo each year this astounding number of attacks could wreak havoc on the supply chain and international commerce.
The number of attacks has more than doubled since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic has also impacted the port’s efficiency as workers were force

Both public and private maritime industries within the entire transportation supply chain is finally getting up to speed with cyber security. The Port of Long Beach in California is poised to build its “Supply Chain Information Highway” digital infrastructure on the Amazon Web Services platform, following a new agreement with the online retail giant.
This “Information Highway” is being created to aggregate data collected at the port on a single platform for access by companies across different

In the last couple of years, cyber security has become a significant challenge for the maritime industry. Please join Jim McKee for The 2022 SMART4SEA Virtual Forum on a new era of cyberattacks. Every business and every individual can be subject to cyber threats. Cybercrime is a massive business; hackers are very well-organized, and they put a lot of time and effort before launching a cyber-attack.
