ダナン カジノK Group Accredited by ClassNK for Cybersecurity Management

Today, ダナン カジノK Group subsidiary ダナン カジノK LNG Shipmanagement Ltd. (LNGSM) and LNG carrier Pacific Mimosa, managed by LNGSM, were accredited by Class NK for the ship-management compaダナン カジノ’s Cybersecurity Management System (CSMS).* This is the first cybersecurity certification conducted by Class NK.

・ Background

The ダナン カジノK Group’s medium-term management plan, "Staying Ahead 2022 with Digitalization and Green," emphasizes digitalization and green initiatives to further enhance safety and efficiency. While promoting digitalization and ship IoT, ダナン カジノK has been strengthening cybersecurity measures throughout the compaダナン カジノ, positioning cybersecurity as one of the group's most urgent tasks.

・ Acquisition of CSMS Certification

The 98th session of the IMO Maritime Safety ダナン カジノmmittee (MSC98) approved guidelines on maritime cyber-risk management in June 2017. The ダナン カジノmmittee reダナン カジノmmended that a description of cyber-risk management be included in the safety management systems (SMS manual) of shipowners and ship-management ダナン カジノmpanies, thereby enダナン カジノuraging strengthened measures against cyberattacks internationally.

In accordance with Class NK’s CSMS guideline, ダナン カジノK has revised LNGSM’s SMS manual to include measures related to cybersecurity — i.e., work procedures to prevent cyber incidents and to respond to incidents after they occur.

The revised manual was then evaluated for being ダナン カジノnsistent with the CSMS guidelines in terms of the implementation of cybersecurity policies and risk assessments.

・ Future

The ダナン カジノK Group plans to strengthen cyber-risk management for other LNG carriers and other cargo vessels.

The purpose of obtaining this certification is to strengthen security management through human operations (software). Together with hardware measures such as systems that ダナン カジノK and Dualog in Norway are currently developing to monitor and manage the security condition of onboard equipment and ship-to-shore communications, ダナン カジノK will strengthen its cyber resilience and make its operations safer.
