Cyber Risk

Why Cyber Risk is Different for Maritime

 

Ships, marinas, and port facilities increasingly rely on interconnected OT and IT systems. Unlike standard office networks, these platforms directly control navigation, cargo handling, security gates, and operational machinery. A targeted breach isn’t just an inconvenience — it can halt voyages, lock port operations, or breach owner data that underpins charter agreements and asset financing.

ECDIS, AIS & Integrated Bridge Systems

Policies addressing dredging, towage, underwater works, subsea installations, and pier construction — structured under USL&H, Jones Act, and local port indemnities to avoid contract breaches or surprise exclusions.

2

Marina & Port Operational Technology

Covering smart dock systems, access control gates, fuel management, and payment platforms that can disrupt commercial throughput.

3

Data Breach & Privacy Protection

Insurance for stolen charter client records, financial data, or proprietary vessel performance analytics — with funded crisis response teams to contain and resolve breaches.

4

Business Interruption & Ransomware

Mitigating lost revenues if systems go offline, whether from deliberate cyber attacks or collateral malware that sweeps across global marine logistics networks.

5

Compliance & Strategic Support

  • Programs aligned with IMO 2021 cyber risk frameworks, GDPR data protocols, and local maritime security directives, so owners and operators avoid regulatory exposures that could void contracts or trigger port sanctions.

  • Pre-approved response vendors and marine-focused cyber forensics teams for immediate containment, ensuring that evidence preservation and system restoration happen in line with underwriter expectations.
