China Classification Society (CCS) Completed the First Type Approval of Ship Network Security Firewall

Recently, China Classification Society (CCS) Zhejiang Branch issued the first type approval certificate of ship cyber security firewall to Supcon Ocean Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.

with the development of digitalization in shipping industry , vessels are becoming sophisticated hubs of connected systems and sensors that generate and exchange data both onboard and back to shore. This connectivity increases the need for cyber security and for ways of verifying the cyber safety of installed operation systems, information systems and navigation systems. In April 2022, the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) released UR E26 “Cyber resilience of ships” and UR E27 “Cyber resilience of on-board systems and equipment”, and the relevant requirements are about to be implemented. To better serve customers, CCS successively released new versions of the “Guidelines for Requirements of Ship Cyber Security (2023)” and the “Guidelines for Inspection of Ship Network Firewall (2023)” since March 2023, providing an effective technical support for effectively meeting the cyber security requirements of ships and onboard systems.

As a ship cyber security device, the ship network firewall effectively improves the overall security performance of the ship network. Since the launch of the type approval project, CCS Zhejiang Branch, with the support of the product department and the science & technology innovation center of the headquarters, has actively assisted to provide technical solution on this project, completed drawing review and approval in a timely and efficient manner, and issued the first type approval certificate successfully.
