The agreement links Marlink’s smart hybrid connectivity with the remote digital and safety services provided by BV. Having identified crossovers in their mutual customer base, the partners will collaborate to help enable maritime stakeholders to more easily adopt cyber-strengthened digital tools and applications using the Marlink network.

The partners have put in place a working group to support shipowners around improving the cyber security of vessel data collection and facilitating compliance with regulation. This aims to support remote and digital operation modes on a journey to smarter, remote and, ultimately, autonomous ships with zero-emissions.

The duo has also identified the need for dedicated channels of co-operation recognising a common interest in removing the barriers to smarter, cleaner vessel operations. The organisations will seize opportunities to work outside the silos that have held back the industry from accessing data that can lower operating costs, save fuel and drive compliance.

The partner program will be expanded over time, with a proactive approach towards new areas of collaboration bringing in new initiatives where possible, ultimately leading the industry into new eras around smart shipping, unmanned and autonomous vessels. As well as simplifying implementation of cyber security standards for shipyards, the agreement is ‘open source’ enabling third party application providers, start-ups and software developers to participate where appropriate.

“This is a partnership with real purpose whose foremost point is to take action to integrate digital tools and services that can bring value for shipowners and encourage and further develop cyber-secure, innovative Class operations,” said Matthieu de Tugny, president, Bureau Veritas, Marine & Offshore. “BV is dedicated to helping our clients understand and manage the challenges of decarbonisation and adopt the digital tools that can support the transition.”

“Shipowners face huge efficiency and compliance challenges over the next decade and these need to be considered now to create a future-proof path that can integrate core operational components onboard and ashore,” said Tore Morten Olsen, president, maritime, Marlink. “Digitalisation is critical to improving voyage optimisation and vessel performance, achieving regulatory compliance and meeting ESG goals, but shipowners shouldn’t have to act as project managers – this partnership means they can streamline and simplify their digital journey based on Class guidelines and recommendations.”


The partners said that the MoU will enable fast tracking of vessel data collection for the support of compliance and performance across safety, carbon emissions and cyber security.

Marlink’s hybrid connectivity will be linked to BV’s digital and safety services; the companies will make it easier for mutual customers to adopt more secure digital tools over the Marlink network.

A working group will help shipowners in the area od regulatory compliance and improving security of data collection onboard vessels, removing barriers for technologies like remote operation, smart vessels and eventually autonomous operations.

The MoU is on an open source basis, opening the door for third parties to contribute where applicable.

NAPA calls for the maritime sector to come together to strengthen cybersecurity, as the company’s industry-leading practices on data protection and information security are endorsed by ISO 27001 certification.

NAPA, a global provider of software, services and data analysis for the maritime industry, has received the ISO 27001:2013 certification on information security management, validating the company’s adherence to international best practices on data management and security.

ISO 27001:2013 is an international standard that defines the requirements for a comprehensive information security management system, enabling organizations to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. The certification, which was delivered by classification society Bureau Veritas (BV), covers all of NAPA’s activities, products, services and locations. It confirms that robust data security systems are incorporated throughout NAPA’s processes and product development to protect the information entrusted by its customers against security risks, such as data leaks, hacks, or cyberattacks.

Upon receiving the certification, NAPA’s CEO, Mikko Kuosa, called on all shipping stakeholders to join NAPA in taking tangible and proactive steps together to build cyber resilience across the industry. As the number of cyberattacks and incidents is on the rise, Mr Kuosa urged maritime companies to ensure that their data, which is critical to their safety and operations, is protected by robust security systems.

“The data-driven insights made possible by greater connectivity onboard have enabled a giant leap forward in safety, emergency response, and voyage optimization – and there is no turning back. The benefits of connectivity are tremendous, and the increased digitalization in maritime also comes with the important responsibility of putting the right safeguards in place to maintain a cyber secure system at sea. In this context, the industry needs guarantees that its business-critical data is in safe hands and must demand the highest standards from its partners. This is why at NAPA we are dedicated to having robust security procedures in place to protect the sensitive data that is entrusted to us, as we help shipping companies sail more safely and sustainably,” said NAPA’s CEO Mikko Kuosa.

An excellent way to test and benchmark your knowledge of cyber-security best practices, policies and compliance


Following a necessary break to our live events, it was a pleasure to welcome the offshore support vessel (OSV) community back live to London in November 2021 and we are delighted to follow up on that success with OSJ 2022 on 15-16 June 2022.

Those in the offshore support vessel industry remain cautious but are optimistic for the future of the sector. There is less oversupply in the market, the oil price has improved, E&P activity is picking up and of course there are opportunities to be found in alternative sectors, mainly offshore wind.

Our annual programme continues to follow the market closely and will provide a platform for offshore professionals to discuss and debate key drivers influencing the business, plans for driving growth and opportunities in the renewables sector. Challenges sit hand-in-hand with opportunities and one such challenge is what the industry can do to address the shortage of seafarers and how it can retain the existing talent pool.

Industry experts will share their knowledge and experiences, review the latest industry data and market trends and drivers. OSV owners will demonstrate the benefits of creating value for their clients through integrated logistics and offshore services. In addition, leading experts will assess innovative vessel technologies, newbuilds and retrofitting to meet zero-emissions targets.

“The OSJ Conferences is a unique opportunity to meet a diverse mix of professionals within the Offshore Industries. In addition to the interesting presentations you are able meet and converse with designers, shipbuilders, equipment manufacturers, ship owners, bankers and other financiers, investors and ship brokers all in one place. I experienced many interesting conversations and made many new acquaintances during my attendance at the 2019 Subsea/Wind and OSJ annual Conferences”
Christoffer Syversen, CEO, Volstad

“This is the right place be if you are interested in expanding your potential customer base. We had a great time in connecting with various companies in the offshore wind industry and oil and gas industries”
Ståle Fure, Head of Service and Aftermarket, Seaonics

“As a software provider to the Offshore industry, it is imperative for Tero Marine to have an updated understanding of the offshore market and our customers market conditions. As such, the annual OSJ conference is the best option available for us. The quality of the speakers and content presented at the 2019 event, was exceptionally good. In combination with the networking sessions we now have a better foundation for our future plans in addition to several leads and contacts we are following up on”
