Cyber security management system gets ClassNK approval

LNG carrier Pacific Mimosa was certified by ClassNK

Classification Society ClassNK has certified the cyber security management system (CSMS) of NYK Group subsidiary NYK LNG Shipmanagement Ltd and its LNG carrier Pacific Mimosa

This is the first CSMS certified by ClassNK and the society said it will continue to provide cyber security services.

In September, ClassNK set up a cross sectional team of marine and security experts to boost its cyber security capacity.
The society’s move came in light of IMO’s decision to adopt Resolution MSC.428(98) Maritime Cyber Risk Management in Safety Management Systems. The resolution encourages the shipping industry to ensure cyber risks are addressed in ship management systems no later than 1 January 2021. Owners who fail to do so risk having their ships detained.
In November, NYK concluded a joint research agreement with ClasskNK, MTI, MHI-MME and Japan Engine Corp to develop advanced technologies to realise its long-term goal of operating manned autonomous vessels. ClassNK will use the information to establish a new classification survey scheme based on CBM.
In March, ClassNK released its Cyber Security Management System for Ships which provides guidance on implementing, maintaining and improving the cyber security management system of companies and ships.
The report discusses management measures to protect vessels against cyber risks in the design, construction and navigation stages.

General intact stability criteria for all ships: The Code for Intact Stability was adopted on 4 November 1993 under  IMO Resolution A.749(18) . This Intact Stability Code was provided to seafarers to give recommendations related to Intact Stability criteria and other measures for ensuring the safe operations of the ship to minimize risk to ships, the personnel, and the environment. Recommendations mentioned in this code can be found in various codes of IMO, such as the MODU Code or DSC Code. The Code for Intact Stability applies to: Cargo ships Cargo ships carrying timber cargo Cargo ships carrying grains in bulk Passenger ships Fishing vessels Special purpose vessels (SPVs) (mechanically self-propelled ships, which carries more than 12 personnel on-board)* Mobile Offshore Drilling Vessels (MODU) Pontoons Dynamically Support

A loading instrument comprises hardware and software. An operational manual is always to be provided for the loading instrument. The requirement of loading instrument for bulk carriers is governed by SOLAS chapter XII, regulation 11. New requirements for onboard stability instruments applicable to all tankers has become effective from 1st January 2016. MARPOL Annex I Ch.4, the IBC Code and the IGC Code have all been amended, requiring tankers to be fitted with a stability instrument capable of handling both intact and damage stabi
