Maritime Cyber Security Awareness

Cyber threats in the maritime industry are no longer limited to physical piracy. Today, digital attacks present an increasing and potentially more dangerous risk—impacting not just operations but also the safety of crew members. For this reason, Cyber Security training has become essential in the maritime sector.

The Gemielemani.com Cyber Security course is designed to equip seafarers with the awareness and knowledge needed to recognize and respond to common cyber threats they may encounter onboard. In addition, the course covers industry-recommended best practices to help safeguard vessels from cyber risks.

This training is in line with the following international standards and guidelines:

ISM Code (MSC.428(98): Incorporating cyber risk into Safety Management Systems)

MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3: Guidelines for maritime cyber risk management

ISO/IEC 27001:2013 – Information Security Management

BIMCO Cyber Security Guidelines (Version 4)

Cyber Security is a key component of the ISM Code, as emphasized in IMO MSC Circ.1526.

Moreover, the STCW Cyber Security course is also highly relevant and beneficial for shipbrokers and others involved in maritime operations.
