Inmarsat Maritime’s NexusWave connectivity service has received Cyber Security Type Approval from ClassNK. The certification confirms that the system complies with the latest International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) cyber security standard, UR E27 (Rev.1). ClassNK assessed NexusWave’s onboard Information and Communication Technology (ICT) architecture and equipment before granting approval. The classification society reviewed individual system components as well as the overall onboard ICT architecture. The assessment covered onboard network equipment, orchestration processes and managed service edge infrastructure. ClassNK confirmed that the system meets the cyber resilience requirements outlined in IACS UR E27. The standard aims to reduce cyber risks and limit the impact of incidents that could affect the safe and reliable operation of shipboard systems. Gert-Jan Panken, General Manager and Vice President of Inmarsat Maritime, said cyber resilience has become a critical requirement for shipowners. He said the certification independently verifies that NexusWave was designed with security and resilience at its core. Panken added that the approval strengthens confidence in the service’s ability to support critical applications and compliance requirements at sea. Taro Okamoto, General Manager of ClassNK, said the certification followed a detailed verification process against IACS UR E27 requirements. He added that ClassNK will continue supporting the adoption of cyber-resilient technologies through independent verification and certification.
