IMO 2021 – Are you ready?

We are only a few months away before the IMO 2021 regulations come into effect. Have you thought of how to comply with these regulations on board of your vessel? Well, we have! Let us guide you through the process of becoming IMO 2021 compliant.

What is IMO 2021? 

BIMCO has issued guidelines on maritime cyber risk management, which have been incorporated into the IMO 2021. The guidelines provide high-level recommendations to safeguard shipping from current and emerging cyber threats and vulnerabilities and include functional elements that support effective cyber risk management.

Basically; Identifying the IT connected devices, Protecting the IT network, Detecting any (possible) threats, Responding and/or acting to any threats and Recovering the network in case so required.
