Abstract

Advances in science and technology play a key role in the development of merchant shipping. The gradual increase in the carrying capacity of ships is accompanied by a reduction in the number of crew dueto the automation of work processes, including the introduction of IT technologies and modern ship management systems. This creates new opportunities to improve shipping efficiency, bu talso increases the risk of cyber threats. Despite calls from international maritime organisations to strengthen protection against cyber attacks at sea, problems in this area remain unresolved. Shipowners remain silent about at tempts or cases of cyber attacks for fear of commercial losses and possible negative consequences. Cyber threats can have serious consequences for safety of shipping, including: damage or loss of shipcontrol; physical damage to the ship or cargo; environmental damage; loss of information confidentiality; and financial losses. The article an alyses recommendations for managing cyber risks in the maritime industry with in the framework of security management systems. Measures aimed at improving the level of cyber security of computer-controlled ship systems are proposed
