Cyber Security Workbook for On Board Ship Use (6th, 2025)

This practical and easy to understand workbook supports the owner, Master and the ship’s crew with cyber security risk management.

It contains comprehensive checklists to support the day-to-day management of onboard cyber security and facilitates collaboration between ships, onshore IT departments and equipment manufacturers.

Cyber risk management should be an inherent part of safety and security and should be considered at all levels of the company, including senior management ashore and onboard personnel.

This Workbook has been designed as a practical, straightforward guide to support the Master and officers on board ship (Part I – Onboard Practical Considerations). It is designed to facilitate understanding and good collaboration between individual ships, onshore IT departments and equipment manufacturers (Part II – Shore Management Considerations). The Workbook may also be useful to the wider maritime industry.

The sixth edition has been produced and supported by BIMCO and the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS).
