As shipping moves towards innovations such as autonomous vessels the US Coast Guard (USCG) warns that the industry needs to take cyber security seriously to avoid regulation.
In the keynote at the Safety@Sea conference in Singapore, Rear Admiral John P. Nadeau from the USCG, spoke about the impact technology was having on the shipping industry and said he believed autonomous ships were not that far off.
However, Adm Nadeau also warned: “They do also have some risks and vulnerabilities we need to think about. The obvious ones are hacking, ransomware, malware, incompatibilities, and GPS interruptions for whatever reason.”
